The Spanish Chapter of ACM SIGCSE organizes a series of events on education, learning and curricular design in computing. The event has an international scope, even though eventually there will be sessions especially devoted to issues that are local to Spain.

Computing here is considered in a broad sense, including Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering and Information Technology, including studies of Computing Applications in the context of degrees from other areas, such as Engineering, Health Sciences, Information Science, Telematics and Bioinformatics. The event especially welcomes submitions of studies that are accompanied by empirical data, or educational materials that are shared with open access licenses, so contributing to the development of computing education as a discipline. On this edition, the sessions will have a special focus on analyzing the conclusions of ACM's Future of Computing Education Summit (FoCES).

The workshop series on Methods and Cases in Computing Education (MCCE) is intended for the communication and dissemination of the activities of the chapter members. It is celebrated on a yearly basis and publishes articles dealing with the joy, pain and hope of our daily teaching and research experiences in computing education. The MCCE workshops thus constitute a forum open to anyone wanting to contribute to the chapter aims. Previous editions were held at UPSA (Salamanca) and UOC (Barcelona). They had the main objectives of contributing to the discussions on the European Higher Education Area held among the Spanish Higher Education community.

Registration in the MCCE Workshop is free for all attendants that are registered in the SPDECE host simposium
