The Institute for Technology and Education (ITB) was represented at this year’s ECER 2025 conference in Belgrade with several contributions. Ludger Deitmer and Christine Siemer had the opportunity to present their current research activities and results from the Erasmus+ funded project AI Pioneers. Their presentation on ‘How do Technical Vocational School Teachers deal with Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom?’ led to an exciting discussion, and we would like to thank the participants of the session. ECER 2025 impressed with exciting presentations and stimulating discussions, as well as an excellently organised programme. Thanks to the successful organisation and the inspiring atmosphere in Belgrade, the conference was an all-round enriching experience for our own research.
