Call For Participation

Research Papers

ICVIAS 2026 invites submissions that highlight applied digital innovation and work-ready solutions, with a strong emphasis on practice-based approaches, implementation experience, and measurable outcomes. We welcome contributions from TVET educators, researchers, students, industry partners, certification bodies (LSP), incubators/accelerators, and public-sector practitioners who are building, deploying, evaluating, or teaching technologies that solve real problems.

Submissions may take the form of research papers, implementation/case reports, prototypes/demos, posters, and teaching innovation notes. We particularly encourage work that bridges TVET, industry, and communities, and demonstrates how technology, information, and innovation translate into skills development, service improvement, operational efficiency, and public value. Topics include (but are not limited to) the following conference themes.

• Applied AI & Data for Work-Ready Solutions
  Topics may include applied AI/ML deployments, data analytics (descriptive–predictive–prescriptive), decision support systems, optimization, and intelligent automation (e.g., RPA and workflow orchestration), with attention to scalability and measurable impact.

• Information Systems & Service Design in Practice
  Topics may include digital workflow design and optimization, UX and accessibility, service blueprints, interoperable service systems, and integrated systems supporting campuses, SMEs, and community services.

• Information Governance, Trust & Responsible Innovation
  Topics may include privacy and data protection, security fundamentals, accountability and auditability, governance frameworks, policies/SOPs, data quality, digital preservation, and digital/AI literacy for responsible implementation.

• Health Information & Digital Health Services
  Topics may include health information systems, health information governance, health literacy initiatives, and privacy/consent practices in digital health contexts, with a focus on information workflows and service delivery (rather than clinical research).

• Data-Driven SMEs & Business Innovation
  Topics may include SME digital transformation, digital operations, customer insight and analytics, innovation adoption and change management, and practical frameworks for improving resilience and competitiveness.

• Public Services & Smart Communities
  Topics may include data-informed public service innovation, citizen-centered digital service design, information transparency and accountability, community information platforms, and service performance dashboards.

• TVET Teaching, Curriculum & Competency Innovation 

Topics may include project-based learning and capstone design, micro-credentials, competency assessment and portfolios, industry-linked curriculum, work-integrated learning, and responsible AI use in teaching and assessment.

Posters Competition

Posters are an important part of ICVIAS, providing a space to showcase practice-based digital innovation and work-ready solutions, from early-stage ideas to implemented projects and teaching innovations. We welcome poster submissions aligned with the conference themes, including applied AI and data, information systems and service design, information governance and trust, health information, SME/business innovation, public services, and TVET teaching and curriculum innovation. Selected posters will be featured in a dedicated poster session, and the conference will present a Best Poster Award to recognize outstanding quality, clarity, and impact.
