The event marks the start of Excited’s second 5-years period with exciting talks and discussions. The particular focus will be on the topics The IT professional of the future and The innovative and exploring educator. The event will offer many opportunities for mingling, discussions and networking. We would like this to be a bit more celebration than conference, but professional content is clearly part of the program: a mix of panel sessions, including discussion where the audience is encouraged to participate. There will be several mingling areas with stands and posters that present different groups and activities.
We are delighted to have our colleague from KTH, Anne-Kathrin Peters giving a keynote speech on the topic of IT education for sustainability. She is Associate Professor in technology education, with a focus on sustainability, especially equality, diversity and social justice.
