Together through Change: Community, Belonging and Partnership

The Lancaster University Education Conference aims to provide a welcoming interdisciplinary space, which specifically aims to:

  • Host an inclusive and engaging event, in which colleagues share teaching and learning experiences, good practices, alongside research and scholarship findings;
  • Inspire exploration, development and creativity in teaching, learning and education through new knowledge and ideas from a broad range of international speakers, presentations and interactive workshops;
  • Deliberately support and host interesting and constructive discussions, which leads directly to collegial collaboration and learning between Lancaster Partner colleagues;
  • Close the geographical, cultural and political gap between partner colleagues building long term working relationships and initiatives.

Call for Contributions

The overall theme of the 2026 conference is Community, Belonging and Partnership. We seek contributions from across the Lancaster University community to share your practice of Inclusive teaching, learning and support.

The conference aims to showcase diverse perspectives and innovative approaches, highlighting the many ways inclusion can be embedded across interdisciplinary and international settings. There are a number of subthemes to guide your thinking, but please feel free to submit outside of these as long as the focus is Community, Belonging and Partnership.

Please note that we can only accept abstract submissions from Lancaster University and the regional/international partner institutions.
