Fourth International Conference on Innovation, Teaching and Education for Sustainability

The 4th International Conference on Innovation, Didactics and Education for Sustainability (CIIDES-2027) will be held on 3, 4 and 5 March 2027. The event is organised by the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Educational Innovation, Didactics and Sustainability (INNODES) and the Network for the Design and Promotion of Gender Opportunities in Higher Education (REDGENU).

Under the theme 'Educating to transform the present and build the future', CIIDES-2027 is conceived as a space for reflection, scientific exchange and the collective construction of knowledge on the changes that are redefining education. Its purpose is to foster dialogue between research and educational practice, as well as to promote evidence-informed responses to social, technological, pedagogical and environmental challenges.

CIIDES-2027 focuses on three priority educational areas:

• Didactics.
• Educational innovation.
• Education for Sustainable Development.

The conference invites participants to analyse teaching and learning processes, educational innovations and formative responses to contemporary challenges, as well as their pedagogical, ethical, social and environmental implications. It also pays particular attention to the capacity of education to drive sustainable, inclusive, equitable and socially responsible transformation processes.

CIIDES-2027 welcomes contributions of diverse types and approaches, including empirical research, theoretical contributions, literature reviews, innovation experiences, case studies, methodological proposals, educational projects and good practices, among others.

The objectives of CIIDES-2027 are:

• To promote the exchange and dissemination of scientific knowledge on pedagogical innovation, didactics, Education for Sustainable Development and the main challenges facing contemporary learning systems.
• To analyse current educational challenges and reflect on the needs, opportunities and scenarios that will shape the future of education.
