ICOMEU2025 is the seventh International Conference on the Management of Educational Units, the successful yearly conference series which started in 2018. The ICOMEU 2025 International e-Conference is hosted and organized by the International Hellenic University. It is designed to provide a unique opportunity for educators and researchers, academics and practitioners from universities, schools, educational organizations, cultural institutions, businesses, industries, and other private and public agencies around the world to share and discuss the gender factor in their practices, research initiatives, and educational instruments which advance the delivery of learning and research but also the management of educational units.
ICOMEU 2025 will be held on-line, free of charge for all the participants.
Current educational practices and academic research call for a multidisciplinary perspective on the management of educational units to address challenges regarding gender equity and equality. As an attempt to stimulate the dialogue on gender, social justice, and inclusivity in modern educational setting, this year’s conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and leaders to explore how gender dynamics influence — and are influenced by — the management of educational units and the overall educational experience. Focusing on gender equity and equality, feminist theories of education advocate that the educational system reinforces and reproduces patriarchy and gender stereotypes. Gender education as part of the curricula of all levels of educational units contributes to the understanding of how constructions of masculinities and femininities and models for assigning social roles influence male and female lives, beliefs, values and career choices. Gender equality in education weakens the disparities in educational opportunities and educational gap between children, primarily due to cultural, social and economic factors and ensures that all students, regardless their gender, have access to equal learning opportunities and career choices. Organizing and developing projects to promote educators’, students’ and parents’ sensitivity and awareness on gender equality is a challenge and, simultaneously, an opportunity for modern educational units and systems.
The official conference languages are Greek and English. There will be sessions in Greek and/or English.
