The 4th International Conference on
Educational Innovation and Philosophical Inquiries (ICEIPI
2023)
Educational innovation has become an important issue on a global scale. The evolution of society and technology has provided new ways to improve future teaching achievements. It also allows us to seek different solutions to the problems that were difficult to solve in the past. On the other hand, our conference aims at unveiling and inspecting the philosophical inquiries usually hidden among the lines of logical debate. We hope that inter-disciplinary studies with a social scientific focus can all be traced back to the very source of their philosophical pursuits and eventually contribute to the creation of knowledge.
To break the barriers of time and space and to provide seamless communication opportunities for worldwide scholars, ICEIPI 2023 will be organized distributedly with dispersed venues. Transnational academic workshops are the co-organisers of ICEIPI 2023 and held at Sam Houston State University (Huntsville, USA) and Northumbria University (Newcastle, UK). Besides these workshops, ICEIPI 2023 also holds an online session and welcomes participants from all countries and regions.
We welcome paper submissions from different areas: Education, Psychology, or Sociology, etc. This conference welcomes innovative scholars to participate in order to boost scientific information exchange among researchers, students and industry experts around the world. We are excited to witness the communications of outstanding and diverse researchers of education innovation, social sciences and humanities during this conference.
