The VISIGRAPP 2025 - 20th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications - took place in Porto, in late February. It brought together more than 380 researchers and professionals interested in keeping up with and discussing theoretical advances and applications in Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Information Visualisation - the main themes of the co-located conferences VISAPP, GRAPP, HUCAPP, and IVAPP, respectively. One of the co-chairs of this conference was INESC TEC researcher A. Augusto de Sousa.

How can collaboration between networks improve AI and immersive environments education? And how can this education model address the environmental, technological, and social changes we face today? How does society prepare to live, learn and work in these new realities? The project "Network Ecosystem in the OnLIFE Education Paradigm in the Age of Artificial Intelligences" focuses on addressing these questions, boosting networked research and leveraging training in contexts ecologically interconnected with Generative AI.

The results of two research papers on immersive learning environments have been published by IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies – a major journal worldwide. The first work addresses the collaboration with the industry in the adoption of virtual reality technologies for training activities. The second advances a structural framework that allows, for example, education and training professionals to select examples of immersive learning application that are compatible with their pedagogical environment.
