Horizons in STEM Higher Education Conference 2017
Making Connections, Innovating and Sharing Pedagogy
29 & 30 June 2017 at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK
Call for papers now open!
Proposal submission guidelines:
Following last year’s successful conference in Leicester, Horizons in STEM HE is back: Making Connections, Innovating and Sharing Pedagogy. The conference committee welcomes submissions that fall either within the following broad pedagogic/innovation themes or discipline areas. The intention is to provide opportunities for two different types of conversation, where teaching innovation and pedagogy might be shared with all STEM colleagues, or where more subject specific discussions might ensue.
In each case the conference is all about making connections.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 31 March 2017. Please see the guidance for presenters document for more details.
Conference Formats:
We invite you to submit abstracts for posters, oral presentations and workshops; we also invite expressions of interest to submit a full paper based on your presentation for publication in a journal special issue after the conference (see above link for detailed guidance).
We are particularly interested to receive student-led submissions.
Please complete the abstract submission form, identifying what type of presentation you are interested in delivering and whether your work fits in the pedagogic/innovation themes of the conference which may be of interest to all STEM colleagues or whether it is subject specific of interest to a discipline-based audience.
Save your submission as a PDF and upload to Easychair by the deadline of 31st March 2017.
We are looking forward to reading your submissions.
