Corroborating LINQ’s themes, distinguished organisations have promised their support for LINQ 2015. The UNESCO Institute for IT in Education has announced its patronage of the conference and its Officer-in-Chief, Dr. Alexander Khoroshilov, will hold one of the core keynotes. Furthermore, Europe’s largest learning-technology project, Open Discovery Space, will host a high-level pre-conference event on innovative school education, a theme regarding which the project has collected uniquely extensive experience.

The pioneering Inspiring Science Education project will also host a special conference event centred on their experience in technology-assisted science education. In addition, members from the co-hosting International Community of Open Research and Education will contribute to LINQ 2015 by fostering the potential connections and interactions between open research and educational practices.

The supporting organisations will provide a framework for discussing the scientific and practice papers selected by the International Programme Committee in double-blind peer review, in addition to sixteen research-project presentations. The selected six distinct and interactive workshops demonstrate LINQ 2015’s dedication to furthering quality education and facilitating interaction among all participants.
