“Enhancing digital and psychological resilience through peer networking in the online environment in times of crises – DigiPsyRes” 2021-1-RS01-КA220-HED000032204

Two years ago, the TIE Conference introduced the Digital and Psychological Resilience Session intending not only to disseminate cutting-edge results from practical and scientific research in the domains of psychological and digital resilience but also to share the key contribution of the DigiPsyRes Erasmus + project to these fields.

Building on the success of the TIE 2022 conference, we are excited to announce our upcoming TIE 2024 conference, where we invite fresh contributions that promise to push the boundaries of knowledge in these domains. This new gathering aims to showcase breakthroughs, foster collaboration, and pave the way for innovative strategies to enhance resilience in the digital era. We kindly invite all interested educators, researchers and other professionals in shaping the future of technology, education, and psychological well-being as we continue to explore and advance this vital intersection.

In the upcoming TIE 2024 Conference a special thematic segment will be dedicated to the ongoing ERASMUS+ project which is realized under the section Strategic Partnerships in Higher Education and is run by the University of Kragujevac (2021-2024). Project activities propose a special session entitled "Resilience and support in a digital environment and networking", and a round table to disseminate the project results and address the issue of psychological and social resilience of students in times of crises.
