An Extended Academic Experience in the Capital of Knowledge
The VII. ITECX College Educational Conference breaks new ground by offering an extended academic structure that allows for unprecedented depth of intellectual engagement. This innovative format moves beyond the limitations of traditional three-day conferences, creating space for comprehensive workshops, multi-day collaborative projects, sustained institutional meetings, and meaningful relationship-building among international partners.
