The second edition of the MoStart Conference: Digital Assistants, Artificial Intelligence, and Education

Following the immensely successful inaugural international conference on digital transformation in education and the application of artificial intelligence, MoStart, organized by the Center for Information Technologies SUMIT and the University of Mostar, the second edition of the conference is set to take place. This year's themes are digital assistants and assistive technologies, with the event scheduled from April 24 to 26, 2024, in Mostar.

The aim of this scientific-professional gathering is to bring together experts engaged in artificial intelligence and its application in all areas of human life, especially in education. The conference is thematically divided into three parts: education, science, and IT. The event promises a dynamic program that includes technical sessions, speeches, and engaging workshops, providing a comprehensive and diverse learning experience for participants.

The educational segment of the MoStart conference aims to inspire all participants in the educational process from primary and secondary schools to continue with continuous learning and strengthening their competencies. Participants will have the opportunity through a series of workshops and lectures to get acquainted with the latest technologies and possibilities in education and share their own experiences. Additionally, this year will see the selection of the most digital teacher. The opening lecture on the first day will be delivered by Siniša Grgić, the current Croatian ambassador to Sweden and Latvia. A modern, intuitive, and secure digital platform for managing preschool institutions and quality communication between kindergartens and parents for preschool institutions, Okitoki, will also be presented at the conference.

The scientific part is focused on digital transformation in education and applications of artificial intelligence. It covers a wide range of technology-based topics, including intelligent teaching systems, augmented reality in education, and robotics in education. As last year, the best papers will be published as part of the Springer book series Communications in Computer and Information Science, with the possibility of publication in the prestigious journal SN Computer Science of the same publisher. The introductory lectures will be given by the esteemed Professor Koiti Hasida from the University of Tokyo and Professor Frederic Sudraud from the University of Limoges in France.

IT Day will be an opportunity to connect with the community of developers, engineers, and technology enthusiasts from the entire region. The MoStart conference will host impressive panels with the latest trends in the industry. Given the large number of companies and organizations participating and the number of students for whom entry to the conference is completely free, this will be an excellent opportunity for those seeking new talents and those who want to direct their careers in this area.
