Educational Data Mining Conference 2025 (EDM 2025): Call for Papers

Welcome to the Educational Data Mining Conference 2025 (EDM 2025), to be held in Palermo, Italy, from July 20-23, 2025.

In an era dominated by artificial intelligence, where machines can surpass human performance in numerous cognitive tasks, it’s imperative that our educational systems evolve. As AI reshapes the workforce, traditional incentives that motivate learning are rapidly changing. This shift presents a unique opportunity—and necessity—for the educational data mining (EDM) community to redefine learning objectives and outcomes. We are poised to lead the transformation in education by leveraging our dual expertise in AI and educational science, ensuring that future generations benefit from these advances.

We are thrilled to welcome you to the beautiful city of Palermo, where we will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping learning and teaching in profound ways. This year, we are excited to feature two parallel conferences: the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) and Learning at Scale (L@S). Running concurrently, these events provide a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with cutting-edge research and discussions in both AI in education and large-scale learning systems. This joint gathering aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and offer a comprehensive platform for shaping the future of education, empowering both learners and educators.

Join us in Palermo to be part of this dynamic exchange of ideas with a global community of innovators and educators as we collectively redefine the educational paradigms of tomorrow.
