30th DeGEval annual conference: AI and Evaluation

Organiser: DeGEval; SEVAL

The joint annual conference of DeGEval and SEVAL, to be held from 22 to 24 September 2027 in Freiburg (i. Br.), will focus on the theme of ‘AI and Evaluation’.

The conference will provide a forum for discussing the following questions, amongst others:

How does AI affect evaluation processes, the professionalisation of evaluation and evaluation standards?
What myths surround AI applications (e.g. regarding resource savings)?
What insights are there regarding the intended and unintended consequences of using AI in evaluations?
What ethical issues arise from the use of AI in evaluations?
What does AI-supported work in evaluation projects look like, and what forms of interaction are employed (ranging from ‘human-in-the-loop’ to evaluative AI that assesses other AI applications)?
To what extent have AI applications changed the expectations of clients and evaluators?
What theoretical concepts are used to integrate AI applications and people in evaluation contexts?

The German Evaluation Society (DeGEval) invites you to take part in the discussion in Freiburg and to submit papers for the annual conference online from now until 9 March 2027. Papers may be submitted in German, English or French.

Topics:

How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?

Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Nordic countries is shaped by strong welfare traditions, close relationships between education and working life, and longstanding ambitions of equality, inclusion and high‑quality education for all. Nevertheless, Nordic VET systems display substantial variation and complexity, influenced by social, demographic, pedagogical and structural differences across countries, regions, institutions and vocational fields. The 2027 NORDYRK conference Embracing Diversity in VET invites researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore how such diversity shapes the conditions, opportunities and challenges of VET. The Call for abstracts opens on November 11, 2026 and closes on January 31, 2027. Registration is required.
