Two days full of EdTech debates at the University of Bielefeld

On May 26 and 27, 2026, Bielefeld will be the focus of the international education and technology debate: At Rethinking quality and accountability in educational technologies, workshops and a conference will come together. Central questions will focus on quality, responsibility, and digital design power in everyday education.

An international forum for education and technology

The event experience begins with a topic that is currently concerning many schools, universities, and educational institutions: What role do digital tools play, how transparent are their mechanisms, and how fair is their use in the classroom? Participants from ten European countries will come together to share experiences with AI, educational software, and digital transformation.

Science, practice, and public mood

The event combines expertise with vibrant exchange. Educators, researchers, students, staff, and interested citizens are invited to discuss and share perspectives. This is exactly what creates the special event atmosphere: focused, international, and open to controversial questions surrounding Educational Technologies and event management in the academic context.

Two days, two focuses

The first day at the University of Bielefeld is dedicated to the topic of quality. The second day in the Knowledge Workshop focuses on accountability. This results in an exciting event planning with a clear red thread that directs attention towards the future of digital education while also creating space for discussion, networking, and new impulses.

Organization with professional depth

The event is organized as part of the Horizon Europe project EdTech Talents. The project serves as a bridge between academic expertise and technological innovation. According to the project description, it strengthens cooperation between science and non-academic partners and promotes knowledge transfer in the European EdTech environment.

Accessibility, travel, and participation

The event is especially attractive for visitors: Participation either in person or online is free, but registration is required. The University of Bielefeld has parking facilities and accessible services; in addition, the campus is connected to public transport. This makes the event consciously aimed at a broad audience with diverse needs.

Conclusion: Those interested in digital education, AI in teaching, and responsible technologies will experience two days of substance, exchange, and an international perspective. This event is worthwhile for anyone who wants to not just follow the debate around Educational Technologies but also contribute to it live.
