The University of Madeira’s Research Center in Education (CIE-UMa) has announced its strategic Activity Plan for 2025-2029, underlining a commitment to enhancing education and its societal influence through innovation and practical initiatives. This plan, corroborating the principles of the Regional Strategy of Intelligent Specialization (2021-2027) of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, revolves around key objectives to drive significant advancements in education research and practical applications. By aligning with regional strategies emphasizing sustainable and intelligent development, CIE-UMa is composed to inspire and enact societal change. 1. Research Excellence: CIE-UMa will emphasize publishing in top-tier journals and books to spread its research findings widely. A notable future publication will compile two decades of the center's contributions, aiming to extend the reach and impact of its work in educational sciences. 2. Continuous Educational Development: The center will host events like colloquia and workshops with local and international experts. These gatherings are designed to foster discussions on cutting-edge educational methods and theories that significantly impact society. 3. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: By promoting teamwork across different disciplines, CIE-UMa plans to tackle complex educational challenges and enhance funding opportunities through initiatives like Horizon 2030 and Erasmus+. This strategy will integrate diverse knowledge bases and innovative solutions beyond conventional boundaries. 4. Professional and Community Growth: The plan aims to strengthen ties with educational and research institutions for better collaboration and professional growth and to ensure educational practices meet global changes and societal needs. 5. Ethical AI Integration: A new focus on Ethical AI aims to explore its implications for social justice and educational equity, advocating for AI developments that are aligned with educational values and human rights. Looking back at the period from 2018 to 2023, CIE-UMa showcases impactful projects under development like the BELONG, SPACE, and MathIA Erasmus+ projects and the APECHE an FCT project. Theseinitiatives have advanced inclusivity, environmental literacy, and the integration of AI in education. They stand as a testament to the center’s proactive approach to addressing diverse educational needs through research and community collaboration, instilling confidence in our future endeavors. The plan encompasses a detailed framework that aims to integrate innovative approaches and technologies into the existing educational system to enhance its effectiveness and relevance. Additionally, the plan aims to foster community development initiatives by encouraging collaborative efforts between local communities, government, and non-governmental organizations. Overall, the strategic plan outlines a comprehensive roadmap for CIE-UMa to achieve its goals and create a positive impact on society.
