In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What’s your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees.

Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE)

Welcome! The 2025 edition of Trends in Functional Programming in Education will be held on January 13th at Oxford University in the UK, together with TFP which will be held on January 14-16.

The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2025 will screen submissions to ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit revised versions of their articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012), Provo Utah, USA (2013), Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014), Sophia-Antipolis, France (2015), College Park, USA (2016), Canterbury, UK (2017), Gothenburg (2018) Vancouver (2019), Krakow, Poland (2020), online due to COVID-19 (2021, 2022, with some talks from TFPIE 2022 also presented in person at the Lambda Days in Krakow, Poland), Boston, MA, USA (2023) (back in-person), and Seton Hall, NJ, USA (2024).

Topics

TFPIE 2025 welcomes submissions describing classroom techniques, classroom tools, and creative uses of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • FP at different levels (high-school, first-year and advanced undergraduate, graduate)
  • FP and the arts (incl. Music, Animation, Games, philosophy and other liberal arts)
  • FP and applications (in Computer Science, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, etc.)
  • FP and pedagogy (incl., e.g., Computational Thinking, e-learning, automated assessment)
  • FP for building student engagement in research

Best Lectures (details below) In addition to papers, we invite best-lecture presentations. These are an opportunity to share your favorite classroom moments. Show us your favorite material or favorite way of presenting it. For best-lecture presentations, submit a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees.

If you wish to make a submission outside the above formats, please contact the PC chair to discuss. Because TFPiE aims to encourage creative and experimental research ideas, we may be able to accommodate some non-traditional submissions on a case-by-case basis.

The Programme Committee for 2025 is still recruiting, you are welcome to contact the chair if you are interested in joining.

How To Submit

Paper submissions should be formatted in EPTCS style. We accept extended abstracts (4-6 pages) and full paper drafts (7-20 pages). For best-lecture presentations, we also accept short abstracts. Before the workshop, these submissions undergo an initial round of light review, performed primarily by the PC chair. Only full papers presented at the conference will be invited to the post-workshop process for full review by the PC. Preprints and slides will be shared on the workshop website.

Papers and abstracts can be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2025

After the workshop, presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC.

If you wish to make a submission outside the above formats, please contact the PC chair to discuss. Because TFPiE aims to encourage creative and experimental research ideas, we may be able to accommodate some non-traditional submissions on a case-by-case basis.

Invited Keynote

Speaker: Nicolas Wu, Imperial College London

Title: Fractal Foundations and Galactic Graphs: Structure and Strategy for Expanding Minds

Abstract: Computer science is rich in its applications, from the beautiful patterns found in fractals to the stragic problem-solving of graph algorithms. In this talk, we look at how coursework built around fractals and graphs has been used to help students understand core computer science material while keeping them inspired and engaged.

Nicolas Wu is a Reader of Computing at Imperial College London, where he leads the Functional Programming research group. His research focuses on programming languages, particularly the application of category theory to program semantics and algorithms. His recent work explores connections between domain-specific languages, algebraic effect handlers, and recursion schemes.

How To Register

Registration includes attending both TFP and TFPIE and is done via TFP web page: https://trendsfp.github.io/register.html

Registration and attendance are mandatory for at least one author of every paper that is presented at the workshop.

Only papers that have been presented at TFPIE may be submitted to the post-reviewing process.

All participants are welcome to attend all TFP events.
