The Research Center for Innovation in Learning Technologies at the Open University of Israel organizes two annual symposia, bringing together academic researchers and the wider public to explore emerging trends in education and technology. These symposia provide a platform for discussing key topics such as artificial intelligence in learning, human-machine interactions, gender dynamics in the digital age, and information flow on the internet. Through expert lectures, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, the symposia foster interdisciplinary dialogue, bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical applications in education and society.
