Not so long ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Lorna Uden, member of the Centre for Information, Intelligence and Security Systems (CIISS) from Staffordshire University. She visited the cities of Salamanca, Ávila and Zamora to select the future venue for the KMO and LTEC congresses.

They will be held in August at the University of Zilina in Slovakia. Held for the thirteenth time, the conference on Knowledge Management in Organisations (KMO) aims to bring together leading academics and researchers and enable them to share experiences and research on knowledge management in organisations and to discuss the challenges they face. Furthermore, it will be the 7th Learning Technology for Education Challenges (LTEC) international conference which provides a meeting point for teachers and researchers in new technologies and pedagogical advances.

Some of our members will participate in various research projects at both KMO and LTCE, as representatives of the BISITE Research Group.

There is no doubt that it will be a very fruitful week. We will learn a lot and gather great ideas which I’m going to share with you upon my return.
