Call for Participation
The motto for this year's conference is 'Future Skills with ILIAS: Learning, Networking, Creating'. Future skills connect all users of ILIAS, whether in educational institutions, businesses or higher education. Together we need to develop the skills that are important in a digitally transformed future. With ILIAS, we want to help strengthen these competencies.
Use the conference as a platform to share your insights and successes with other participants, to inspire others with creative solutions and innovative use scenarios and to develop new ideas. Regardless of whether you are new to ILIAS or an experienced user, we look forward to every contribution that gets conversation going and helps contribute to the further development of ILIAS and its community.
We look forward to your suggestions!
Suggestions can be submitted until 7th February 2025 at docu.ilias.de:
