The DEAR Project brings together students, teachers, scholars, and industry experts to explore the evolving landscape of digital ethics and responsibilities through a dynamic series of events. From interactive workshops to global symposium and panel discussions, our events provide a platform for thought leadership, critical dialogue, and the exchange of best practices in ethical technology use.
Join us as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation in education, ensuring that emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, big data, and digital learning analytics—are incorporated ethically and responsibly.
