Every year, IFTE gathers more and more participants from different countries, who present their research across various areas of teacher education. This turned the Forum into a large research community with one shared vision to make teacher education more effective, productive and modernized in the world. We have always viewed the Forum as the scientific bridge which helps Russian and international scholars share their experience and best practices in the field of teacher education. This approach has become even more meaningful today when the world is living through the COVID-19 pandemic. New threats and challenges, that education systems face, have brought scientists from around the world closer together in search of ways to overcome emerging problems and provide high-quality, accessible education at all levels. It is particularly telling that the main theme of IFTE 2021, “Teacher Education: New Challenges and Goals”, shows our will to help resolve the difficulties that were not only brought by the pandemic but will also determine the course of development of education in the future.

The conference “Textbook: Focus on Students’ National Identity” (ISSN 2738-8425) held by Moscow City University to welcome school teachers, tutors, university professors and leading scholars from Russia regarded the issues of cultural identity against the new-globalization as well as encouraged the exchange of expertise in designing and employing textbooks in schools and universities to support students national and cultural identities and enhance their self-development. Another relevant issue to be tackled was digitalization of social interaction within the framework of modern world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants regarded modern types of textbooks to meet today’s challenges and reveal their personality developing potential.

Obviously, such challenges as the pandemic should not deprive researchers of the opportunity to discuss the issues important for education perspectives. On the contrary, the TSNI  was to give a new impetus to the development of education with the virtual realm as another platform for the effective exchange of ideas in the field of educational technologies, strengthening the cooperation in Russian researchers. 

The TSNI conference lasted from April, 20 till April, 24, 2021 and offered opportunities to more than 1142 participants to listen to the keynote speakers, take part in round tables, master-classes and workshops and join section discussions.

For the first time in six years of the International Forum on Teacher Education (IFTE) (ISSN 2683-0647) existence leading scholars from Russia and foreign countries will meet not in person but online. The COVID-19 pandemic made people around the world recalibrate the schedule of international events. It also affected the IFTE forum, which was to be held at Kazan Federal University for the sixth time. Each year delegates from around the world come to the forum. In order not to expose the forum participants to the risk of infection, IFTE-2020 is organized in a virtual format.

“The facilities that Kazan University is able to provide, will allow the forum participants to present and discuss the results of their research work in a virtual realm. We also hope that IFTE-2020 will give a new impetus to the development of education; and the virtual realm will become a unique platform for the effective exchange of ideas in the field of educational technologies, strengthening the cooperation between Russian and foreign researchers” – emphasized Ilshat Gafurov.

“The virtual IFTE-2020 is our first experience of holding a large-scale event in a completely virtual format. And we consider this unique experience as an opportunity to explore various online platforms to fulfill our mission and promote research in the field of teacher education” – commented Aidar Kalimullin, IFTE Co-Chair, Professor, Director of the Institute of Psychology and Education of Kazan University.

The IFTE-2020 virtual forum will start on May 27, as originally planned, and last till June 9, 2020.

A new wave of activities on data mobilisation, data portals, and different sides of biodiversity informatics arose in Russia some 5 years ago. However, Russia remains still a massive gap in the open access global biodiversity systems. Nevertheless, some projects were successfully implemented to mobilise national data using international biodiversity data standards and modern technologies.

These proceedings are comprised of conference papers of the III National Scientific Conference with international participation “Information Technology in Biodiversity Research” (ISSN 2738-7410), dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Academician Pavel Gorchakovskii (https://insma.urfu.ru/en/research/itbio), 5–10 October 2020, Ekaterinburg, Russia. Articles presented in the collection were reviewed and selected by the editors of this volume. They represent valuable contributions to the current development and achievements in biodiversity informatics research in Russia.

The conference became a traditional meeting point for Russian biologists interested in biodiversity informatics. The conference topics are:

• Global biodiversity portals: data integration and data use for scientific research
• Biodiversity data mobilization in Russia: databases and information systems development experience
• Digitization of Russian natural history collections: current state and prospects
• Biodiversity of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and methods of their analyses
• GIS technologies application and remote sensing data use for biodiversity research. 

The conference series aims at promoting innovations in biodiversity information science, sharing biodiversity data management practices, and enhancing of Russian biodiversity informatics community.

This V International Forum on Teacher Education (IFTE) (ISSN 2683-0647) special edition presents a snapshot of the current state of the researches devoted to personal and professional development of teachers from around the world. The rapidly changing world entails a fundamental change in the mission of education – from translations of knowledge and skills to the industry of opportunities. This requires a person continuously to produce new knowledge, flexible and adaptive thinking. Teacher education in the 21st century occupies a special place, since it develops the foundations for the success of the educational system as a whole.

The Forum is organized in partnership with the Russian Educational Research Association (RERA), Educational Studies Association of Ireland (ESAI), International Janusz Korczak Association (IKA) with support from World Education Research Association (WERA), Association for Teacher Education in Europe (ATEE) and International Association of Educators (INASED).
