*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
How to support learning ecosystems to get smarter and play a central 
role to regional development and social innovation ?
“Smart,” is not simply equivalent to “technology enhanced” or 
“intelligent” learning ecosystems but, rather, learning ecosystems that 
promote the multidimensional well-being of all players of learning 
processes (i.e., students, professors, administrative personnel and 
technicians, territorial stakeholders, and, for the schools, parents) 
and contribute to the increase of the social capital of a “region,” also 
thanks to the mediation of the technologies.
This special issue and the Timisoara Declaration, challenge researches 
and practitioners in reflecting on how it would be possible to generate 
a concrete impact, starting with the achievement of a better 
understanding of learning ecosystems and contexts, to continue with the 
strategic design to support the increase of ecosystems’ “smartness”, 
with the generation of impact in real life well beyond technology 
enhanced prototypes and demo and, last but not least, with the promotion 
of adequate policies and action plans.
Researcher and practitioners are invited to submit their R&D work on 
policies, case studies, entrepreneur experiences with a special focus on 
understanding how relevant are the smart learning ecosystems (schools, 
campus, working places, informal learning contexts, etc.) for regional 
development and social innovation and how the effectiveness of the 
relation of citizens and smart ecosystems can be enhanced.
Contributions are also expected to address how technology mediated 
instruments can foster the citizen’s engagement with learning ecosystems 
and territories, namely by understanding innovative human centered 
design and development models/techniques, education/training practices, 
informal social learning, innovative citizen-driven policies, technology 
mediated experiences and their impact. This set of concerns will 
contribute to foster the social innovation sectors and ICT and economic 
development and deployment strategies alongside new policies for smarter 
proactive citizens.
This special issue is supported by the Association for Smart Learning 
Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD <www.aslerd.org>).

technology, place/space, process; sharing & participatory practices; use 
of public space & services; dual education and other mixed educational 
approaches; open access; social innovation; cultural influences; 
monitoring and benchmarking of smartness of learning ecosystems; 
orchestration: complexity and its government; going from smart cities 
and regions' challenges to smart learning environments
• Abilities, Skills and CompetencesTo consider work on: general 
frameworks; design, data and other relevant literacies; digital skills & 
competences; acquisition strategies; gamification: pedagogical, social 
challenges; monitoring, evaluation and awareness; literacies, skills and
