Please note: the deadline for submitting proposals to the conference was 16 January 2023. You are no longer able to submit a proposal to the conference, but you can still register to attend the event.
Please use this form to submit your 250 word abstract and indicate your preferred session type.
We will wherever possible try to accommodate your preferred session, however you may be asked by the conference committee to present in a different session format.
Submissions will go through a selection process by the programme committee, who will consider the following:
- Relevance to the conference themes.
- Appeal to a diverse audience. Whilst presenters are encouraged to share work in a specific subject discipline, submissions should identify points of interest and implications for those working in other disciplines and areas of work.
- The quality of the proposal and practice being shared. Proposals should be well-written, engaging and successfully communicate the effective and educationally interesting practice that is being delivered.
- Whether an appropriate delivery method has been selected, e.g. presentation, workshop, poster, lightning talk.
