The 20th International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE) will be held in Jerez de la Frontera (Instituto para el Desarrollo Social Sostenible, University of Cadiz), Spain, from 19th to 21st September 2018 (http://siie2018.uca.es).

The SIIE is an international forum for presenting, discussing and reflecting on research, development and practices in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Education.

The previous editions were held alternately between Spain and Portugal, providing a space for researchers, educators and institutional representatives to exchange and debate ideas. SIIE has become a reference, particularly in the Ibero-American context.
