The only summer school in Europe dedicated to Informatics Education Research returns 8–12 September 2025, hosted by UCLouvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, and sponsored by IBM Research Europe and FNRS.
Following last year’s successful launch, this second edition of SCHIER offers a week of focused learning, exchange, and expert networking in a field recognised as vital by the EU Council.
Co-organised by the IE Education Research Working Group, SCHIER is designed for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and other researchers interested in advancing research in Informatics Education.
Participants will benefit from:
- Expert-led lectures and interactive sessions on key topics and methodologies.
- Collaborative discussions on emerging research challenges.
- Networking opportunities that foster long-term collaboration and advancement.
This is a unique chance to engage with a vibrant, growing community of researchers at the forefront of Informatics Education Research in Europe.
Applications are now open and are limited to 40 participants, admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.
