AIFE 2026 Singapore: AI For Education Conference 2026 Singapore National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, Singapore, November 16-18, 2026

The AI for Education Singapore Conference (AIFE 2026), organised by the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, is a timely and thought-provoking forum for exploring the future of learning in an AI-shaped world. Over several action-packed days, the conference will bring together global thought leaders, cutting-edge innovations, and inspiring showcases to discuss critical dimensions of learning and teaching in an age of intelligent technologies.

AIFE 2026 will, for the first time, feature an open Call for Papers, providing a platform for high-quality academic and design-based contributions that bridge research, practice, and policy in AI-enabled education. The conference will publish extended abstract proceedings (ISBN) and will contribute to an academic book to be proposed to Springer.

Hosted at the National Institute of Education (NIE), NTU Singapore, AIFE 2026 will take place on a vibrant, technology-rich campus that anchors Singapore’s teacher education and educational research ecosystem. Participants will experience an immersive environment with state-of-the-art lecture theatres, collaborative learning spaces, and technology-enhanced classrooms that support keynotes, paper sessions, symposia, workshops, SIG meetings, and tradeshows.

Under the theme “Pedagogical, Inclusive and Ethical Use of AI in Education”, AIFE 2026 foregrounds three guiding principles that frame the conference programme and submissions.

• Pedagogical: advancing human-centred and learning-driven uses of AI that support deep understanding, inquiry, creativity, collaboration, and meaningful assessment, rather than substituting or automating teachers.
• Inclusive: ensuring equitable access and meaningful participation for all learners, including those from underrepresented, marginalised, or resource-constrained contexts, and attending to issues of language, culture, and accessibility.
• Ethical: fostering responsible, reflective, and sustainable engagement with AI, including attention to data governance, algorithmic bias, transparency, accountability, and emerging discourse on post-humanism and algorithmic governance.

With this anchoring theme, AIFE 2026 invites conversations on pressing questions that educators, policy makers, researchers, and industry partners are grappling with: How can AI be pedagogically engaged to enhance teaching, learning, and assessment? For whom does AI serve—or exclude—in education? How can AI be ethically and inclusively deployed to serve the enduring purposes of education?
