The International Conference on Innovative Research in Education (IRECONF) is a forum for researchers, teachers, and leaders to share new ideas in learning and teaching. Since 2019, we have successfully organized conferences across Europe, always focused on high academic quality, transparent double peer review, and building a supportive global community. We believe in research that truly helps students and educators.
