This conference, now in its fifth edition, is organized by the consolidated research group ATLAS from UNED. It brings together researchers, educators, technologists, and institutional representatives from various countries to reflect on the impact of emerging technologies —including generative AI— on language education and processing. The conference is endorsed by the UNESCO Chair in Distance Education (CUED) and has been recognized as a training activity by UNED’s International Doctoral School. The Conference will take place at UNED's Regional Centre in Úbeda in a hybrid format, although in-person attendance is strongly recommended.
