The rapid development and widespread popularization of information technology has triggered a new round of revolution in human society in the digital era, and also promoted the digital transformation and learning revolution of higher education. The metaverse is a digital virtual space for human life, work, creation and entertainment supported by a new generation of information technology and an ecosystem that integrates virtual and real. Metaverse education uses metaverse technology to carry out education, and provides student-centered immersive, experiential, interactive, and collaborative teaching and learning through technologies such as virtual and real integration and artificial intelligence, so as to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education and teaching. Metaverse education services provide intelligent services for educational and teaching activities and processes, teachers and students/learners in the metaverse environment, and improve teaching quality, learning experience and learning efficiency. Focusing on the new characteristics, new forms and new scenarios of AI-enabled metaverse education and services, this forum invites experts from universities and enterprises to discuss metaverse education and its services, metaverse education ecosystem and service space, metaverse education industry development, typical application scenarios of metaverse education services, etc., and widely discuss the development direction of metaverse education and services, and the way of education digital innovation.
