Join us for the fourth annual Seamless Learning Conference at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business!

WU Vienna is happily inviting all interested practitioners, policy makers and scholars to its 2025 Seamless Learning Conference. These annual events bridge discourses, disciplines and perspectives on current issues in higher education teaching and learning, aiming for a learning experience that is as seamless as possible.

The 2025 edition focuses on student experience and learning effectiveness – and their multifaceted relationship with groundbreaking educational technologies, most notably artificial intelligence and extended reality environments. The conference explores how these technologies are reshaping higher education and aims to promote dialogue for more seamless, engaging, and future-oriented teaching and learning.

This year’s conference welcomes contributions that critically explore the intersection of AI and assessment, the integration of XR and AI in teaching and learning, and experiential and immersive learning formats and environments.

The conference will take place on 16-17 October, lunch to lunch, at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business.

Call for Contributions

The organisers are looking for contributions at the conference that build on professional experience, projects or research that are linked to one of the three conference tracks.

More Information on the tracks is in this PDF download.

We welcome two types of submissions:
Type 1: RESEARCH-LED SUBMISSIONS that either build on the author’s own research or synthesize parts of the current discourse in the form of an analytical literature review.
Type 2: PRACTICE-ORIENTED CONTRIBUTIONS linked to specific institutional or supra-institutional projects and initiatives with the potential to inspire other institutions.

For more details please refer to the PDF download.

Proposals should be submitted in a MS Word Format to seamlesslearningcon@wu.ac.at until 23 August 2025. The programme committee will review the proposals and inform authors about the outcome until 15 September.

As part of this year’s conference, one track will explore how AI competences can be meaningfully fostered in higher education – for both learners and teachers. This issue is the focus of the ongoing ⁠Erasmus+ project FLAIR “Fostering Learners’ AI Readiness”.

The initial results of the project are going to presented and discussed at the closing plenary session.

More information is available at the conference website.
