The aim of this conference is to exchange on issues and working methodologies specific to research in scientific, technological and vocational education, to compare the results obtained and to identify the advances in research in such a field within the Mediterranean region. It also aims to promote and establish work projects between the laboratories that are members of the SIEST network ((Interlaboratory Seminar on Scientific and Technological Education) in order to develop a shared culture of research work on teaching-learning in the scientific, technological and professional fields.

Moreover, this conference aims to support young researchers in a process of communication and scientific publication. In this perspective, the speakers will be encouraged to publish an article at the end of the conference in the Mediterrean Journal of Education https://pasithee.library.upatras.gr/mje

This 8^th edition of the SIEST Méditerranée conference will present and question the research work currently being carried out on several trends in the development of scientific and technological education to face various challenges: climate change, energy crisis, etc.:

 (a) approaches and systems for education for all in science, mathematics and technology from kindergarten to university, based in particular on digital technology or taking into account pupils with learning difficulties
(b) approaches and arrangements for initial, in-service and lifelong learning training for the professional development of science and technology teachers.

In 2021, the SIEST Méditerranée (Interlaboratory Seminar on Scientific and Technological
Education) conference had to be cancelled due to the global health crisis. However, we
managed to organise it in May 2022 - but in a different form... at a distance.
If the health situation allows it, the next SIEST Mediterranean conference will be held at the
end of 19-20 May 2023 in Hammamet (Tunisia). The aim is to allow a face-to-face
conference to be held following the last conference, which was to be held in Tunisia in 2021,
but which was organised remotely in 2022. The final programme will be available in March
2023.
Furthermore, the scientific committee particularly encourages proposals bringing together
researchers from different laboratories of the SIEST Mediterranean network, in order to
strengthen and develop inter-laboratory collaborations.
The conference will bring together, by theme, papers proposed mainly by young researchers
- master's students, doctoral students, post-doctoral students - accompanied by confirmed
researchers from the various research teams. Papers will be presented in French or English.
The abstracts of the proposals will be submitted to the appreciation of readers, members of

2

the scientific committee, to ensure that they correspond to one of the themes of the 2023
conference.
In addition, after the conference, the best papers will be selected by the scientific committee,
and the authors will be accompanied by experts to submit a co-authored article in the
Mediterrean Journal of Education.

The deadline for receipt of one-page abstracts is 12 February 2023 at the latest. The
paragraph "recommendations to authors" specifies the writing constraints.
