The 3rd International Conference on Metaverse and Artificial Companions in Education and Society (MetaACES 2025), organized by The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and co-organized by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), will be held on 18 - 20 June 2025. Day 1 and 2 of the conference will be held at EdUHK’s Tai Po Campus, while Day 3 will be held at SUSTech’s Campus in Shenzhen. MetaACES is one of the APSCE Theme-based International Conference Series.

Metaverse and AI companions in education and society cover a wide variety of research topics. They include companionship of human and virtual entities involving applications in hardware and software forms using AI techniques. AI techniques can be in the form of multimodal processing and analytics in languages, visions, speeches, and other modalities of interaction. We call for submissions from researchers doing research in these hot topic areas. We are particularly interested in research that uses deep learning methods to support interactions between humans and AI companions in a variety of real-world educational and societal applications. These topics also include assistive robotics in addition to formal and informal learning, training, workforce, and other forms of cognitive and emotional support.

The conference program includes keynote speeches, teacher forum and paper presentations. All the accepted papers of the conference will be published in ISBN-coded proceedings. Accepted full papers will be selected and invited to submit to the following Open Access journal: Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning.
