LAST SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 29, 2024


RILME - Red de Investigación sobre Liderazgo y Mejora de la Educación, in collaboration with the research community of practice Curriculum, Assessment, Training and Technologies in Education (CAFTe), announce the 5th International Congress on Leadership and Improvement in Education, to be held on 27-29 May 2024 at the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences of the University of Porto (Portugal).

CILME has already held four editions at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2017 and 2018), the Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago de Chile (2019) and the Universidad de Sevilla (2023). In addition to these higher education institutions, RILME (www.rilme.org) is also made up of research teams from the universities of Granada, Huelva, Murcia, Vigo, Rovira i Virgili de Tarragona, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina) and Porto (Portugal).

In a world that is constantly changing and marked by times of uncertainty, the school has been increasingly recognised as a crucial place for democratic education and transforming societies.  It is with this in mind that the V CILME 2024 is organised around the theme of "School, Democracy and Change", to stimulate wide-ranging discussions and reflections based on theoretical approaches, the results of studies and the sharing of experiences. Considering the nuclear interconnection between these three pillars, it is hoped that V CILME will contribute to broadening the debate on education and training policies; institutional and professional cultures in the field of education; and educational practices and learning communities.

Recognising the relevance of this event for the entire educational community, we invite teachers and/or researchers, as well as other professionals with experience/interest in the field of education, to take part in V CILME 2024.
