At the nexus of these risks computational social sciences, computing education and digital literacy are emerging as a critical political and societal lever for designing digitalized futures. In pursuit of an open society, open science and open source, this workshop addresses the transformative power of computational methods, including AI, not only in education, but also in society and labor markets by exploring interdisciplinary insights to questions of digital and open sovereignity, societal structures, and the evolving demands of labor markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call for Papers<\/strong><br><br>This workshop aims to comprehensively explore the intersection of computer science, computational methods, education research, sociological research, their respective methods and societal implications, with a special focus on digitalization and AI for and in society, education and educational research. It focuses on interdisciplinary perspectives on the design of an open society, open science and open source, examining aspects such as society, general education, labor markets, qualifications, vocational education and training, or adult education. In addition, the workshop encourages submissions that critically reflect on the application of digital methods in these research areas. The overarching goal is to understand how computational methods, especially AI, can be sensibly applied in the development of open, digital and sustainable societies and economies. Emphasis is placed on theoretical as well as empirical research, including data science methods and AI approaches applicable to recommender systems, digitized learning, and effective linking of digital resources.<br><br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Computational Social Sciences, in particular AI and computational approaches for the interdisciplinary work of the social sciences, economics, and humanities: report on theoretical, methodological, experimental, and applied research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantitative and qualitative research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data science methods to analyse (vocational) education and labour market data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Digital methods and systems in education (e-learning, adult education, general, VET and academic education, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI approaches for recommender systems and digitized learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linking of digital resources, a discussion of data sets, their quality and reliability, combining quantitative and qualitative data, anonymization and data protection.
