Call for Papers
The World Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Future Education (WCAFE 2026) cordially invites researchers, academics, educators, policymakers, graduate students, industry professionals, and practitioners from around the world to submit original research papers for presentation at the conference, which will be held on 22–24 November 2026 in London, United Kingdom.
WCAFE 2026 serves as an international interdisciplinary platform for discussing the rapidly evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and education. The conference aims to foster scientific dialogue on innovative educational models, responsible AI integration, digital transformation, and the future of learning in higher education and beyond.
We welcome original theoretical, empirical, methodological, interdisciplinary, and practice-oriented studies that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in artificial intelligence, education, educational technology, public policy, and related fields.
The conference follows a two-stage submission process. Authors are first invited to submit an extended abstract. Following the Scientific Committee's evaluation, authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit the full paper for peer review and publication consideration.
