Themes: ·         Learner experience and engagement ·         Students as partners Collaborative and practice-based learning Effective learning  environments Innovations and Impact

Keynote: Professor Sue Clegg, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education Research at Leeds Metropolitan University.

The conference uses posters and short accompanying presentations in order to maximising the sharing and dissemination of research and practice across sectors and the practitioner community.  We encourage presenters to make posters interactive and to promote discussions examining the potential contribution and impact of their work for the sector, and also to evaluate the contribution of applied research to the enhancement of education.
