From Industrial Innovation to Digital Education

Scope

Current developments in industrial environments together with all the social and technological challenges require the establishment of new frameworks oriented to focus learning, to foster profound changes in the formation of digital competences and in the creation of open resources that contribute to the development of the knowledge society.

In this field, advances in mobility in general and in autonomous mobility in particular constitute one of the greatest challenges in today's societies. Thus, the Esautomatix project, which focuses on research into new architectures for autonomous mobility in controlled environments, proposes this special track with the aim of exploring how emerging technologies can transform today's societies.
The aim is to create a space for researchers, teachers, students, institutional leaders and industry to present use cases, debate and experiment how technological and industrial advances can be integrated into innovative educational processes. It is a cross-cutting approach that links technology, digital education and the opening up of knowledge.
