Emerging themes
Focus on a cutting-edge sub-topic that crosses the conference tracks — an area where new methods, questions or applications are taking shape and deserve dedicated attention.

Special Sessions
Special sessions
Focused sessions that bring together researchers around emerging, specialized themes within AI-driven STEM education and sustainability.
The invitation
Propose a special session that spotlights a focused, emerging topic.
Special sessions complement the conference's main tracks by gathering work on specialized, fast-moving themes — bringing together related papers and the researchers behind them into a single, coherent part of the programme.
Proposals from the research community are warmly welcomed. If you lead or follow an emerging area within AI-driven STEM education and sustainability, we invite you to shape a session around it.
Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030Driving advances in mathematics, AI, education and sustainability.
The essentials
What makes a special session
A strong special session is focused, coherent and community-driven — a curated lens on a specialized topic that still connects back to the conference's research tracks.
Cohesive programme
A curated set of papers presented together, so attendees experience a focused thread of research rather than scattered talks — making the session a destination in its own right.
Curated & coherentCommunity-led
Organized by researchers who are active in the area, giving the session credible direction and a genuine connection to the people advancing the field.
Researcher-drivenConnected to the tracks
Every session maps onto one or more of the conference's six research tracks, keeping specialized themes anchored to the wider scope of AISTEMEDU 2026.

From idea to programme
How to propose
Three simple stages take a session from a focused idea to a place on the AISTEMEDU 2026 programme in Khobar City.
1
Define the theme
Scope a focused topic that complements the main tracks — specific enough to gather coherent work, yet open enough to invite a meaningful set of contributions.
2
Submit a proposal
Share the session aim and intended scope with the organizing committee, so they can assess how it fits within the conference programme.
3
Curate & present
Accepted sessions are scheduled within the programme and presented alongside the main tracks in Khobar City.
