As we stand at the forefront of an era defined by rapid technological
advancements, OCCE 25 provides an opportunity for educators,
researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the world

effective, and inspiring learning environments.
Join us as we rethink and reimagine what is possible in education.
Together, let’s lay the groundwork for a future where technology serves as
a bridge to equity, creativity, and lifelong learning for all.
On behalf of the International Program Committee, we look forward to
welcoming you to OCCE in Morocco and to an inspiring exchange of ideas
that will shape the future of education ."
Prof Don Passey, Chair of IFIP TC3, Vice-chair of IFIP TA, Lancaster University, UK:
"Dear participant,
IFIP TC3 conferences seek to inspire and stimulate – and what better
ways to inspire and stimulate than the place and the topic! This year,
in 2025, we will hold the IFIP TC3 OCCE 2025 conference in Rabat,
Morocco, and the topic will be ‘Rethinking education through the lens
of AI and other breakthrough technologies’.
I hope you feel inspired and stimulated even before the conference
itself! The conference will provide opportunities to meet in a
wonderful location, and to share and discuss a focus on a particularly
important topic that we all face, whatever our roles in education
using digital technologies. So, do please come along to the
conference, engage, and share through your questions or through a
presentation.
My particular thanks to all who make this conference possible – to
our hosts at the Université Internationale de Rabat, to the Chair and
members of the Local Organising Committee and to the Chair and members
of the International Programme Committee of the conference.
Conferences cannot happen without the dedication, support and
commitment of so many people, organising locally and at a distance –
my thanks go out to everyone so generously providing their time and
expertise.
I look forward to seeing you in Rabat in October 2025!"
Key Dates
The conference will be held from the 28th to 31st of October 2025. The
dates of the calls and the different deadlines will be annouced soon.
Venue
OCCE 2025 will be held at the International University of Rabat (UIR), the
first Moroccan university to have been created in partnership with the
Moroccan government in the field of higher education. This partnership
enables it to work to fulfill its objectives of academic excellence,
education, research and socio-economic development in the Kingdom and
across the African continent
The longstanding commitment of UIR’s international partnerships ensures
that Moroccan and foreign students alike can benefit from high-level
training courses, resulting, in some cases, in the grant of a double
degree.
UIR is located in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, which offers a perfect
blend of modernity and tradition, making it an ideal destination for
international visitors. Nestled along the Atlantic coast, this UNESCO
World Heritage city is rich in history, with attractions like the Hassan
Tower, the royal Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the ancient Kasbah of the
Udayas. Its vibrant medina, filled with traditional souks and crafts,
contrasts beautifully with its modern districts, lush gardens, and clean,
expansive boulevards. Rabat’s coastal location also provides opportunities
for beach walks and fresh seafood. With its welcoming atmosphere, mild
climate, and blend of culture and history, Rabat is a must-visit for those
seeking an authentic Moroccan experience.
