LIST OF TOPICS

⚠️Warning. All workshops submitted by the TEL community members will be evaluated before they are accepted to be included in the program. We expect more workshop submissions than we can fit into the program, and therefore rejections might happen as well. The key to a successful proposal is the relevance of the workshop topic for our target audience – PhD candidates working in the field of TEL.
