The deadline for submissions is Friday 16 February and the final programme will be confirmed in April 2024.

The theme for this year’s conference is Thinking Higher: Interdisciplinarity and the Next Generation Curriculum.

‘Thinking Higher’ explores the future of learning in higher education through the lens of enhanced interdisciplinarity and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

Both promise new heights of knowledge integration and collaboration across wide-ranging academic fields and professions.

A more holistic understanding of the world that ensues, arguably has potential to better equip students to address complex challenges of the C21st such as climate change or growing societal disparities.

The conference invites participants to delve into the related themes of interdisciplinarity and AI technologies, share stories of navigating challenges and opportunities, and contemplate the next generation curriculum and future of learning.

If you have novel ideas for conference sessions on any aspect of learning and teaching or the student experience outside the afore-mentioned themes, we enthusiastically invite you to submit a proposal under theme three ‘Other Considerations’.

‘The future of learning’ central to the conference theme also threads through UoN TeachFests, which provide collegial and collaborative spaces to share experiences and exchange ideas before and after the conference: Sutton Bonington, 19 December 2023, and University Park, 5 July 2024.
