Another reason > for celebration is that the first conference was had in 1993, 32 years ago: a > “round” binary jubilee, another pretext to reminiscence whereto participants and > authors are encouraged, also in what follows. > > We are sure that the conference will be interesting mainly because of your > presence and papers submitted in response to the call for papers 🙂. This year's > theme seems to us important: exposing students of lower levels of education to > the power and quality of TeX creates chances for a new generation to follow into > our footsteps. > > > Registrations will be announced separately and as soon as possible.. > > -- Jerzy Ludwichowski > (on behalf of the Organizing Committee) > > > > The 30th GUST TeX conference - call for papers > > ***TeX in education*** > > The jubilee, thirtieth BachoTeX conference is dedicated to using TeX in and for > education. > > Though TeX is known and used in Poland at academia, especially in STEM, for more > than thirty years it still is a niche tool at lower levels of education. The aim > of this year’s conference is to look at how TeX may be used to support education > processes in different contexts: pupils at various levels, teachers, authors of > curricula, school management or persons less obvious in this context such as > carers of special interest groups and others involved in school’s life. > > Those who contribute to education processes should be able to see the value of > and potential offered by the TeX system – be it for preparing teaching materials > or creating tools to support everyday school activities – TeX’s advantages over > other software systems or packages should be obvious. > > Authors are invited to submit papers not only directly on the conference theme, > we encourage you also to relate to the 30th BachoTeX jubilee. We look forward to > receiving inspirations and hearing of your experiences as impulses for further > research and developments. > > * Papers/presentations > > Of course we also look forward to the normal mix of TeX, Metafont / Metapost > (please, do not forget the fonts!), ConTeXt, LaTeX, and friends related > presentations. We also do upkeep the BachoTeX trend in which we try to bring > together programmers and designers of typographic systems, typographers and > other users of such systems. The normal channel of offering papers is the > emailing of proposals to the Program Committee, but before rushing off to the > mailer, please consult the info for authors > at https://bachotex.gust.org.pl/2025/auth_en.html. > > * Workshops and tutorials > > We look forward to proposals for TeX-related tutorials or introductions. If you > have suggestions for tutorials or workshops by others than yourself or about > specific topics, please let us know. > > * Poster sessions > > As always at BachoTeX participants will be given the opportunity to present > their TeX and typographic results in the form of posters for which we provide > exhibition space. > > *Deadlines and addresses > > The deadline for “regular” abstracts and other proposals is March 31th 2025. The > deadline for final versions to appear in the conference materials is April 14th. > Contributions should be sent by email using the address prog-2025@gust.org.pl. >
