 2016 is going to mark the 25th anniversary of Eden and the annual conference is going to return to Eden's first place to Budapest, Hungary. The conference will be held from the 15th to the 17th of June 2016 and the theme of the conference is learning environments. The key words are various, we are talking about digital environments, the classroom, the physical environment, social, cultural environments and everything you can imagine from the pedagogical or the physical point of view. The Jubilee year is not only about the conference, we are also going to introduce new services to our members and partners. We are going to strengthen our relationships not only within Europe but globally. Scalability is a very important keyword for our 25th anniversary year. The recognition of professional excellence was always very significant in the Eden circles. Our existing awards such as the Eden Fellow Award, the Best Research Paper Award and the Young but very significant initiative of the Young Scholars Support Scheme is going to be complemented by the Best Practice Initiative Award and we are also going to recognize some excellence by introducing training activities and the open badges. The feedback from our members is very important to us and we do realize that continuous professional development is very important for nowadays educational specialists. This is why we are introducing trainings. The first event was the 2015 Open Classroom Conference held in Athens in September and we are introducing open badges that are going to be the manifestations of the newly acquired skills and competences.

Be an educational specialist from whatever sector or field of education, a practitioner, researcher or policymaker. We are welcoming you with open arms in Budapest in June 2016.
