We are pleased to invite students, researchers, lecturers, and professionals interested in collaboration and teamwork to participate in the Fifth Workshop on Collaborative Work and Collaborative Learning, which will be held as part of the XII Ibero-American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction. This workshop aims to bring together the academic and professional community to explore and discuss new forms of collaborative work and learning, sharing experiences, methodologies, and innovative approaches. It will provide a suitable space for interaction, where participants will be able to exchange ideas, share research results, and generate new collaborative proposals. We invite the community to actively participate by presenting their work and joining an environment where cooperation becomes the central axis for knowledge construction. Additionally, the workshop will offer opportunities to socialize and establish collaboration networks that foster future projects, promoting synergies that extend beyond the event. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this space for dialogue and collective growth!
