Call for Papers: AI in Vocational Education and Training
12.02.2026
From now until 8 March, authors can submit articles for a publication on the topic of AI in vocational education and training. The aim is to examine the impact of AI on vocational education and training and to combine international perspectives.
How is Artificial Intelligence (AI) reshaping vocational education and training (VET) worldwide? What new opportunities do machine learning, generative AI, and automated assessment tools offer for the future of VET? In light of these advancements, we invite international researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to submit proposals that explore AI’s role in reshaping vocational education.
This call for papers aims to address the transformative potential of AI in VET, with a particular focus on innovative pedagogies, methods, and practices that can support competency development, teacher adaptation and conducive learning environments in this new era. At the same time, it includes the perspective of young people being challenged to adapt to the technological and societal shifts and perceiving the contemporary world to be in a perpetual state of crisis.
