On June 27 - July 1, Prof. Ronghuai Huang from Beijing Normal University National Engineering Laboratory for Cyberlearning and Intelligent Technology and his team went to UK to participate Festival of Learning & the 19th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education. During the visit, Prof. Huang and his team went to University College London and Cambridge University for visit and exchange, communicated with heads of academic institutes, and discussed research projects and the possibility of cooperation in the future in areas of artificial intelligence in education, learning science, STEM education and so forth.
Every two years, The International AIED Society holds an International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, or AIED. On June 27 - July 1, the 19th AIED conference was held in London, UK, hundreds of global education and artificial intelligence experts gathered in London, shared the development and application of artificial intelligence in the field of education. As the main partner of AIED conference, Beijing Normal University National Engineering Laboratory for Cyberlearning and Intelligent Technology was invited to attend the conference.
This year, International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS), Large-scale Learning Conference (L @ S) were held in the same period, and formed a week of multiple learning seminars - London Festival of Learning. It has attracted more than more than 1000 experts, scholars, educators, enterprise representatives and learners around the world, brought together the world experts, and discussed frontier development of the artificial intelligence, learning science, and educational technology innovation.
