[Apology for cross-postings] ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS The 9th edition of Educational Knowledge Management (EKM2026) https://csedu.scitevents.org/EKM.aspx In conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Computer Supported Education (CSEDU), 18 - 20 may, 2026, Benidorm, Spain Chairs: Assistant Prof. Christine Lahoud, University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard, France Prof. Marie-Hélène Abel, HEUDIASYC CNRS UMR, University of Compiègne, France Associate Prof. Yazan Mualla, University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard, France Scope: The high volume of information in organizations has led researchers to focus on knowledge management (KM) as a form of competitive and success leverage. The interest in KM for the educational domain has been growing in recent years as a strategic approach for sustainable development. The use of KM in education can, for instance, help develop strategies to improve teaching effectiveness and student retention, support decision-making, analyze the impact of social media and games in learning, generate exam questions from text files, or provide personalized student guidance. For this 9th edition, we are opening up to AI-driven educational systems. This new focus highlights the growing impact of Agentic AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), and Explainable AI (XAI) in shaping next generation learning environments. By expanding our scope, we aim to explore how these technologies enhance personnalization, automation, and educational decision-making. We welcome submissions reporting original research that explores how KM technologies, Agentic AI, and Generative AI can address challenges related to the management and analysis of educational information in academic or professional learning institutions. Topics: We welcome papers describing original work applied to education. A non-exhaustive list of topics for the workshop includes the following: • Recommendation and Personalized Learning • Educational knowledge management and ontologies • Educational Data and Learning Analytics • Semantic Web and Linked Data in Education • Artificial intelligence, robotics and human-computer interaction in education • Natural Language Processing to improve educational effectiveness • Educational Systems and Software • Practical Learning and Pedagogical Methods • Agentic AI and autonomous educational agents • LLMs and SLMs for educational purposes • Generative AI and large language models for knowledge creation and tutoring • XAI for transparent educational decision-making • Human-centered design and ethics in agentic learning systems • Integrating KM frameworks with AI-driven adaptive learning • Collaborative intelligence and human-AI co-creation in education Paper Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at: https://csedu.scitevents.org/Templates.aspx Please also check the Guidelines (https://csedu.scitevents.org/Guidelines.aspx) Papers must be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system using the appropriate button on the conference page.
