Call for Papers

Late Breaking Results (LBR: Posters)

Introduction

The 27th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2026) invites you to submit your work for consideration in the late breaking results (LBR) track, focusing on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of education. This year’s conference theme, “From Tools to Teammates: Human-AI Synergy For Augmented Learning”, highlights research on human and AI agency, collaborative intelligence, and human & AI co-evolving.

The LBR track offers an opportunity for presenting compelling, preliminary results and innovative work in progress. The goal is to give new, but not necessarily mature work a chance to be seen by other researchers and practitioners and to be discussed at the conference. Accepted submissions will be published in the companion proceedings of the conference and will be presented during the conference as posters. We are seeking original research, conceptual papers, case studies, and innovative projects that explore technical, human, and societal aspects of AIED, in line with the general Call for Papers.

Submission Instructions

Submissions must follow Springer policies on publication (including policies on the use of AI in the authoring process): https://tinyurl.com/3rk3zj3v.

All submissions must be in Springer format. Papers that do not use the required format may be rejected without review. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers (see https://tinyurl.com/2f55ryfj). Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

Submissions must be no more than 6 pages (including references) and are handled via EasyChair. No appendixes are allowed, so the content should be self-contained.

Review Process

All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee to meet rigorous academic standards of publication.

The review process will be double-blinded, meaning that both the authors and reviewers will remain anonymous. To this end, authors should:

  • Eliminate all information that could lead to their identification (names, contact information, affiliations, patents, names of approaches, frameworks, projects and/or systems).
  • Cite own prior work (if needed) in the third person.
  • Eliminate acknowledgments and references to funding sources.

Papers will be reviewed for relevance, novelty, technical soundness, significance and clarity of presentation. It is important to note that the work presented should not have been published previously or be under consideration in other conferences or journals. Any paper caught in double submission will be rejected without review.

Registration and Participation

Each accepted paper within the LBR track must be accompanied by a unique author registration (i.e., one registration per paper). Please note that presenters of papers accepted to the LBR track are expected to be on-site to give their presentations and interact with the audience, to have the paper included in the proceedings.

A Best Poster Award will take place. More details will be updated later.
