Introduction
The Workshop on Educational Innovation in Architecture, launched in 2013, emerged as a response to the specific challenges of teaching in architecture, reclaiming its role within the academic sphere. Inspired by Ernest L. Boyer's Scholarship of Teaching (1990), the JIDAs emphasise that teaching is not only the transmission of knowledge, but a legitimate academic activity that contributes to the generation of pedagogical knowledge in higher education. Since their inception, they have promoted active and interdisciplinary methodologies, connecting architectural education with disciplines such as anthropology, film and visual arts, while fostering collaborative networks based on the exchange of experiences. In 2016, the JIDAs became itinerant, expanding their national and international scope and enriching the pedagogical debates with diverse perspectives, adapted to the different educational centres and contexts that have hosted each edition. This model has strengthened their impact, consolidating them as a benchmark for teaching innovation in architecture.

Organization and submissions
The Workshop is managed through an OJS platform. You need to register in advance in order to send your proposals and final communications. Submissions will undergo blind peer review by the scientific committee through the platform. Submissions that do not strictly comply with the guidelines for authors will not be considered.
You have to attach your file in the “Communications” area and it must be based on the template provided without personal details in order to guarantee anonymity. This procedure is the same for both proposed communications and final communications, although the latter will also include a version with the authors’ details.
Communications may be submitted in Spanish, English or Catalan. The Workshop’s working language will be Spanish.
COMMUNICATIONS PROPOSALS (template)
Submitted proposals according to the template undergo a first review. All accepted proposals will have their full versions included in the digital proceedings, with ISBN number, e-ISSN number (2462-571X), legal deposit, DOI and handle. After this first review, you must submit your full communications through the platform, according to the template and before the specified deadline.
FULL COMUNICATIONS (template)
The scientific committee will review the full communications, and those with the best assessment will be presented orally during the Workshop. All the authors of a communication need to be registered so that the full text can undergo the second round of revisions and be considered for its oral presentation. The oral presentations must adhere to the order and format that will be established in the final Workshop programme.
Index and diffusion
The proceedings are indexed in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Web of Science). Also, the conference has other channel for dissemination to widen the scope of influence of the communications. The communications that are most highly rated by the scientific committee among those presented orally will be eligible for the digital and physical collection JIDA [Texts of Architecture, Teaching and Research], co-published by RU Books and IDP-UPC, depending on their content and at the discretion of the Workshop’s management.
