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.

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.
