5th EAI Conference on Computer Science and Education in Computer Science
22nd ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND EDUCATION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
(EAI CSECS 2026)
30 June-2 July, 2026, Boston, USA
The conference and the journal have historic roots in the computer science departments of the three sponsors in the USA, Germany, and Bulgaria. However, participants have come from around the globe. We have speakers from more than a dozen countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan, India, and China. The conference provides an opportunity to collaborate with computer science and IS researchers worldwide. Research findings have been published in conference proceedings, with outstanding papers subsequently published in journals. The proceedings are published and indexed in CEEOL. CSECS (EAI CSECS 2026) students and faculty have contributed new knowledge in areas such as cryptography, digital forensics, health informatics, software project management, online distance education, and more. Each year, one outstanding research paper is recognized.
We welcome professional extended abstracts and full papers. CSECS (EAI CSECS 2026) is a premier international forum focusing on the intersection of computer science research and education. The conference aims to foster a multidisciplinary approach to advancing computer science technologies, educational strategies, and pedagogy. EAI CSECS 2026 also emphasizes the development and evaluation of computing curricula, teaching methods, and online courses to enhance both the technical and educational aspects of the field. Through discussions on theory, application, and integration, the conference aims to identify and address key challenges in computer science education and research.
All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library. Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Scopus, DBLP, EU Digital Library, IO-Port, MatchSciNet, Inspec, and Zentralblatt MATH.
