Fwd: PedRIO conference: Institutional and Subject Excellence

CALL FOR PAPERS - PedRIO Conference

'What is Institutional and Subject Excellence?'

University of Plymouth, 29^th November 2018

An increasing focus on Institutional Excellence in Higher Education has led to a proliferation of 'excellence' agendas (REF, TEF and, most recently, KEF). Pedagogic research crosses the boundaries between research and teaching and has strong implications for the knowledge exchange agenda and thus is perfectly situated to support (and critique) the excellence agendas. In this context, the Pedagogic Research Institute and Observatory (PedRIO) is delighted to announce an upcoming conference entitled 'What is Institutional and Subject Excellence?'.

 

Aimed at bringing together leading academics from across the UK and beyond, you are invited to submit an abstract for a paper (15 mins with 5 minutes discussion), workshop (1 hour) or poster, themed around one of the following areas:

 

• Demonstrating institutional and subject excellence
• Impact and evaluation – linking teaching and research

• Institutional excellence and policy developments
• Public Engagement and Pedagogic Research for impact

• Widening participation and institutional excellence

 

Please submit your abstract via this link - closing date: 24^th September 2018.

Conference registration is also available here
