2026 European Learning & Teaching Forum - Impactful staff development for educational transformation

Date :  du 12-02-2026 au 13-02-2026

Appel à communications ouvert jusqu'au :  06-10-2025

Lieu :  Lisbonne

Modalité :  présentiel

Organisation :  European University Association (EUA)


Programme : 

Ongoing developments such as the rise of artificial intelligence, changing demographics, labour market demands and learning needs, as well as larger-scale societal shifts towards a knowledge economy have spurred reflections on how higher education can safeguard its fitness-for-purpose and relevance in the future. These reflections, in turn, have repeatedly pointed to a need for more innovative approaches to learning and teaching. This need concerns all aspects of how higher education is delivered, but the focus of this Forum will be on how staff development can be (re-)designed to facilitate innovation in learning and teaching, with systemic impact on student learning.

How can institutions develop their staff’s capacity to adequately use – and perhaps even themselves develop – innovative pedagogical methods, resources and tools? Which approaches work to give due support and recognition to early adopters, and how can their impact be evaluated? Finally, how can staff be equipped with the agility to adapt to and tackle future educational challenges, and be encouraged to become innovators themselves? These and other questions will be the focus of the 2026 edition of the European Learning & Teaching Forum.

Leadership and management in higher education institutions, researchers, teachers, students, policy makers and other interested stakeholders are invited to submit proposals for presenting practices or research on enhancing, innovating and transforming learning and teaching in higher education at the institutional, national or international level. The proposed topics are expected to relate to the Forum theme. For more information, please consult the call.
