The 13th International Conference on “Software and Emerging Technologies for Education, Culture, Entertainment, and Commerce" (SETECEC 2025) is a scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the emerging areas of computer sciences and new technologies for education, cultural and natural heritage, virtual entertaiment and digital commerce, for example.

All contributions –papers, posters, workshops, demos, doctoral consortium, research-in-progress, parallel sessions, and so on, should be of high quality, originality, and significance. In the current international conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal, factual and natural sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects: Artificial Agents in Extended Reality, Computer Art and Creativity, Cyber-culture, Distance Learning, Educational Methodologies, Extended Reality, Gamification, Graphical User Interfaces, HCI, ICT, Intelligence Artificial, Interactive Design, Mobile Computing, Multimedia, Network Security, Machine Learning, Motion Graphics, Quality Evaluation of High Education, Social and Human Factors, Ubiquitous Computing, Users and Adaptive Interfaces, UX, Videogame Technologies, Visual Effects and Computer Graphics; and other computational areas are solicited on, but not limited to (alphabetical order):

• 3D Visualization
• Brain-Computer Interfaces
• Business Intelligence Technology
• Children-Computer Interaction
• Cloud Computing
• Collaborative Technologies
• Communicability
• Computational Archaeology
• Computer Animation
• Computer Games Design
• Creative Open Software
• Cross-Cultural Design
• Cultural and Natural Heritage
• Cyber-bullying
• Education and Virtual Agents
• Emerging Technologies
• Ergonomics
• Games Design
• Gardunia Factor in Education
• Holographic Three-dimensional Telepresence
• Intelligent Systems
• Marketing and Commerce Online
• Metaverse
• Mixed / Virtual / Augmented Reality
• New Directions in Social Networks
• New Mass Media
• Scientific Visualization
• Software Engineering

Hence topics from the whole range of education, cultural / natural heritage and new technologies, human-computer interaction, extended reality, software, design, interactive systems, and so on, are welcomed. Last year’s symposia, workshops, conferences, etc., organized by ALAIPO and AInCI, for instance, included contributions on the topics (see above the alphabetical order). An extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views. Besides, we are working with zero Gardunia Factor.
