CLEF 2025 Programme Overview

The conference will take place across two venues at UNED:

  • Main Venue: Facultad de Educación, hosting four rooms: Salón de Actos, Sala de Grados, Ricardo Marín, and Florentino Sanz. The Salón de Actos will be the main space for keynotes, main conference sessions, and lab overviews.
  • Additional Venue: Facultad de Psicología (50m from the main venue), where some lab sessions will take place.

Coffee breaks, lunches, and poster sessions will be held at the Facultad de Educación, mainly around the Canteen and Ground Floor.

See the Venue page for directions to each building, and refer to the programme tables below for detailed room allocations.

Social Events

In addition to the scientific programme, CLEF 2025 includes a series of social events to help participants connect, relax, and enjoy Madrid.

  • Welcome Reception – Tuesday evening at Casa Suecia, just a short walk from the city centre. Join us for drinks and light food in a relaxed atmosphere to kick off the conference.
  • Madrid Tour – Wednesday evening. A guided walk through some of Madrid's most iconic locations. Transportation will be provided from UNED.
  • Gala Dinner – Thursday night at Inhala Hotel Garden. Enjoy a festive evening with colleagues in an elegant setting, including dinner and entertainment.
