Call for Contributions

The overall focus of the 2027 conference is looking to the future and reimagining the University. We will be seeking 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. We will provide a number of subthemes to guide your thinking, but please feel free to submit outside of these as long as the focus is looking to the future and reimagining the University.

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

The call for contributions, along with further guidance on subthemes and presentation formats, will open in January 2027.
