The World Immersive Learning Labs Symposium 2025 (WILL 2025) took place over a three-day period from Sunday, April 13 to Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

WILL is an international symposium that explores potential applications of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and other cutting-edge technologies in education and specialized fields. Leading experts, researchers, and engineers from around the world utilize these symposia as venues for thinking about and discussing the future of education together. This year's theme was "Co-Creation and Practical Problem-Solving." In addition to lectures, the event included live demonstrations, workshops, participatory-type flipped research sessions, and other practical learning activities.

Participants exchanged ideas and proposals regarding problems faced in education environments and concrete solution measures. They focused particularly on the state of equitable and sustainable immersive education, which provided valuable opportunities for participants to explore the issues in ways that transcended borders and individual fields of specialization.

The symposium itself is an international project co-founded by Professor Eric Hawkinson of the Kyoto University of Foreign Studies Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences for purposes of promoting utilization of immersive learning techniques as well as international collaboration in the field.

The MAICO Immersive Learning Lab on the sixth floor of Building No. 6 served as the venue for WILL 2025, from which professors planned and carried out the event. It garnered widespread attention on both a domestic and an international scale.
