The 2025 International Symposium on Education, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity (ISEAC) aims to unite researchers, educators, technologists, students, and industry experts on February 26, 2025, to explore the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, and its impact on education. The symposium features keynote addresses by renowned experts, a workshop on AI use in education, parallel presentation sessions, a hackathon, and a dedicated session for student presentations.

About the Symposium

The first ISEAC conference in 2023 was held online, with over 300 international participants, including educators, scientists, and researchers in fields like AI, computer science, and education. Attendees discussed emerging topics, such as generative AI in education and AI-assisted teaching. Keynote speakers—Prof. Dong-Seong Kim, Dr. Vladimir Mariano, and Dr. Reinald Adrian Pugoy—presented on generative AI and its educational potential. The event also featured a hackathon, showcasing innovative student projects from various Philippine universities.

ISEAC 2025 banners the theme “Constancy, Change, and Co-existence: Navigating the Interplay between Education, AI, and Cybersecurity in a Dynamic World.” This event is part of the Tri-conference organized by the UP Open University, alongside the International Conference on Open, Distance and E-Learning (ICODeL) and the International Symposium on ASEAN Studies (ISAS). With rapid AI advancements reshaping global education, the symposium delves into AI’s influence on education, the adaptation of educational systems, the impact of cybersecurity issues on communities, and ways for AI and education to coexist positively. Keynote speakers will include prominent experts in AI, education, and cybersecurity.

We invite researchers, educators, young professionals, technologists, students, thought leaders, and lifelong learners to submit their conference papers that explore Constancy, Change, and Co-existence in the context of education, AI, and cybersecurity. We encourage submissions from diverse perspectives, disciplines, and regions to foster rich discussions on the evolving relationship between education and AI, as well as the impact of cybersecurity in education and communities. As a highlight of ISEAC 2025, we are organizing a special session for students to present their research and projects. The hackathon for students, early career researchers, and young professionals/technologists will also be part of the symposium.

How to submit your paper?
● Submit an extended abstract, a maximum of 2 pages (about 700-1000 words) with references using the APA format in the conference platform: https://iseac.upou.edu.ph
● All submissions will undergo a peer-review process, and accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and possibly included in the conference proceedings.
● Accepted papers will be notified via email.

Pre-Symposium Workshop
A pre-symposium workshop, which is open to anyone, will be held a day before the symposium proper. The workshop, “Transforming Education with AI: Tools, Strategies, and Ethical Practices,” is designed to introduce participants to AI tools and technologies that are relevant to modern education. It aims to demonstrate how educators can effectively integrate these tools into their teaching practices, enhancing learning outcomes and classroom efficiency. Additionally, the workshop will engage participants in discussions on the ethical implications of using AI in educational settings. To ensure practical value, the workshop will also equip participants with hands-on experience using AI-powered educational tools, empowering them to confidently apply these resources in real-world educational scenarios.
