From 2 to 4 April 2025, the conference will bring together researchers and practitioners from all around the
world and in every stage of their career. Together, we will exchange and discuss research results, teaching
practices and the most innovative approaches to TBLT. In the center of the third happiest city in Europe,
Groningen, the conference will give us the opportunity to advance theories and thoughts that are at the core of
TBLT. We look forward to reflecting on the contribution of technology in education nowadays and in the future,
