Hajdúböszörmény, 24-25-26. April. 2025
Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Education for Children and Special Educational Needs and the Editorial Teams of the Special Treatment Journal we are delighted to invite you to the 10th ’Special Treatment’ International Interdisciplinary Conference.
Date of conference:
- 24-25-26 April, 2025
Venue of the conference:
- University Of Debrecen, Faculty of Education for Children and Special Educational Needs, 1-9. Désány str., 4220, Hajdúböszörmény (Hungary)
The conference has been providing space for a decade for the publication of the scientific results of Hungarian and international researchers which focus on dealing with the situation, care and development of persons requiring special attention, special treatment and the solution of their problems (e.g. persons with special educational needs; persons with disabilities; persons with integration, learning and behavioural difficulties; gifted persons; disadvantaged persons, etc.).
For the first time in the history of the conference, we are preparing to hold a three-day event, during which speakers are expected to come from more than 10 countries to share their experiences and research results related to the topic.
This event will highlight and support the emergence of themes that are also in the focus of the János Neumann Programme, such as a) the development and evolution of preventive, curative and care developments/systems for healthy living from early childhood to old age; b) the use of new technologies based on environmentally sound and sustainable development, emphasising climate neutrality; c) the boom of artificial intelligence, digital tools and digital switchover, the introduction of solutions enabling the development of high-level digital skills, skill-enhancing teaching methods in the education, training, development and overall care of stakeholders.
A special feature of the conference will be an open lecture by one of the conference's keynote speakers and the establishment of an international research group called the ’Special Treatment’ International Research Network.
