Call for papers
SLERD 2019 is proud to invite and welcome contributions from researchers and practitioners that in their daily activity strive to put in place a people in place centered approach and foster the development of smart learning ecosystem where technologies are supportive of the human wellbeing and help learning places in recovering the central role in the education of future citizens, in the design and achievement of social innovation and territorial development.
