The book serves as a comprehensive compilation of the insightful contributions presented at the 7th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development (SLERD 2022), an event dedicated to fostering reflection and engaging discussions on research and development (R&D) work, policies, case studies, and entrepreneurial experiences, with a particular emphasis on understanding the significance of smart learning ecosystems in regional development and social innovation. This conference aims to explore the effectiveness of the relationship between citizens and smart ecosystems, particularly in promoting engagement and fostering social innovation.

One of the key areas of interest within this forum is the exploration of how technology-mediated instruments can enhance citizens' engagement with learning ecosystems and territories. This involves understanding innovative human-centric design and development models/techniques, education/training practices, informal social learning, innovative citizen-driven policies, technology-mediated experiences, and their impact. By addressing these concerns, the book aims to contribute to the growth of the social innovation sector, as well as the development and deployment of information and communication technology (ICT) and economic development strategies. Additionally, it seeks to develop new policies that empower smarter and more proactive citizens.

The conference brought together a diverse range of experts, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world, who shared their expertise and perspectives on the topic. The presentations and discussions covered a wide range of topics, including smart learning ecosystems, regional development, social innovation, technology-mediated experiences, and the role of citizens in shaping the future of education and society.

Overall, the book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the role of smart learning ecosystems in promoting regional development and social innovation. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and practices in this field, and offers insights into the potential for technology-mediated instruments to enhance citizens' engagement and participation in learning and development processes.
