SUMMARY:2025 European Learning & Teaching Forum
DESCRIPTION:2030 and beyond: towards responsive and adaptable higher education \nIt has become an accepted fact\, if not a truism\, that we are undergoing a period of change and\ndisruption that poses numerous challenges to higher education\, as well as for society at large.\nBuilding agility for unknown challenges that may emerge is thus a key issue for higher education\nlearning and teaching. How can we prepare our students\, teachers and institutions for the path\nahead? Participants in this future-gazing edition of the European Learning & Teaching Forum will\njointly discuss strategies to develop future-readiness in and through learning and teaching. Key\nquestions include how higher education can safeguard its relevance through capacity for\nadaptation and how graduates can be equipped with responsive and adaptable mindsets. \nThrough a mix of plenary and parallel sessions\, the Forum provides a platform for discussion and\nexchange of practice on how universities enhance learning and teaching. The Forum also presents\nthe work of the 2024 Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Groups. It aims to gather higher\neducation professionals working at different levels on matters of learning and teaching to exchange\nand discuss institutional practice and policy developments. The Forum is an ideal event for vicerectors\nfor academic affairs\, deans\, heads of learning and teaching centres\, and management\ninvolved in learning and teaching. It also welcomes students\, policy makers and other stakeholders\nin higher education. \nFor more information visit 2025 European Learning & Teaching Forum.

SUMMARY:Integrating Sustainability in the Engineering and Computer Science Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Urgent and transformative action is needed on the climate emergency. The integration of sustainability in the engineering and computer science curriculum is gaining increased attention among academics\, students and accreditation agencies\, however\, there is divergence in the method of integration\, measurement and interpretations of sustainability. \nIn collaboration with Engineers Ireland\, the Royal Irish Academy Engineering & Computer Sciences and Climate Change & Environmental Sciences Committees are organising a one-day conference to explore the integration of sustainability in engineering and computer science programmes in Ireland. The event and resulting report aim to shine a spotlight on successful programme development\, identify gaps and blockers\, and outline what best practice for embedding sustainability could look like. \nThe day will start with two keynote speeches that will offer perspectives on the current state of play in the intersection between sustainability\, engineering and computer science. Following that\, we will hear a variety of case studies before breaking into groups in the afternoon to explore topics such as curriculum\, accreditation\, and assessment\, in more depth. \nThis event will be geared towards third-level academic and teaching staff but also hopes to engage policy makers\, funding agencies\, and representatives from professional bodies and the engineering and computer industries. In bringing stakeholders together to share and exchange experiences\, ideas\, successes\, and learnings\, we hope that this event will be a catalyst to encourage further development in this important area. \nYou can find more information here

SUMMARY:Call for symposium contributions "The 9-5 student? Rethinking the concept of studenthood"
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will take place on Friday\, 23 May at MTU’s Bishopstown campus. We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations engaging with any of thematic strands outlined below. \nProposals should be of approximately 250 words\, and can be submitted via our submission form until Monday\, 5 May. \nWe also very much welcome interested colleagues to register as attendees by Thursday\, 15 May. \nSymposium outline:\nBoth anecdote and recent media comment would suggest that the nature and practice of studenthood is evolving rapidly. With students increasingly likely to devote significant time to employment and less than academics might envision to study and related tasks\, the time is apt for academics and for institutions to rethink the design and practice of Higher Education learning. This symposium aims to investigate the contextual factors that are actively reshaping the practice of studenthood\, with a view to exploring conceptual gaps between academics’ and students’ expectations of its enactment. We are particularly interested in socio-cultural and other situational factors influencing the changing nature and experience of studenthood. \nRelevant themes can include but are not limited to:\n• individualisation and personalisation;\n• the influence of ed tech;\n• proprietary AI\, especially GenAI;\n• time as organising principle;\n• learner incentives and rationales for embarking on HE study;\n• learner incentives and rationales for attending and engaging post-enrolment;\n• commuting\, cost of living\, and socio-economic factors;\n• access and progression;\n• political economy of HE;\n• cultural\, socio-cultural and (trans-)media(l) climate;\n• space and geographies of HE;\n• sustainability in and of HE study; and\n• any other relevant contextual influence on the nature and practice of\nstudenthood today. \nThe symposium organisers\, Marian Hurley and Deirdre Casey\, welcome queries\, and can be contacted at Marian.Hurley@mtu.ie and/or MarieD.Casey@mtu.ie. \nThis symposium is part of the project “Space + [time x practices] = engagement?”\, funded through SATLE – the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Funding in Higher Education – by the Higher Education Authority’s National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.

SUMMARY:Galway Symposium 2025: "Preparing Students for a Challenging World: education for sustainable development and the socio-emotional domain"
DESCRIPTION:We come to Higher Education(HE) with our own unique ways of being\, doing\, learning and teaching that are usually shaped by our own backgrounds\, experiences\, and research disciplines. Although the interconnected global challenges facing students highlight the need for us to teach to the socio-emotional learning domain\, we are often not equipped to embed the affective dimensions of learning into our teaching practices. \nIn bringing together experts in the fields of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)\, student well-being\, and sustainability\, this conference opens a space for learning and discussion on the socio-emotional domain and the competencies necessary for an inclusive and empowered future for both students and staff in Higher Education. \nWe will begin the day with two keynote speakers: Dr. Paul Vare\, University of Gloucestershire\, Chair of National Association for Environmental Education\, UK and Professor Bridgette Bewick\, School of Medicine\, University of Leeds\, UK. The keynote addresses will be followed by workshops facilitated by University of Galway staff and visiting academics on the themes of futures thinking and affect\, competence development\, and pedagogies of care. \nLocation: University of Galway\, Áras Moyola \nDate: 12 June 2025 Time:10AM-4.30PM\, registration opens at 9.30AM \nFacilitated by: The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) \nRegistration Link: https://lnkd.in/gWyB4B-3
