One of the largest international conferences on teaching and learning in higher education comes to Bergen 24 to 27 October 2018.

This is the annual conference of “The International Society for Scholarship in Teaching and Learning” (ISSOTL), and it collects approximately 500 teachers and researchers from around the world. “Scholarship in Teaching and Learning” is about having a scientific approach to ‘what works’ in teaching and learning, and the theme of this year’s conference is “Toward a learning culture”. It is thus the collegial and cultural aspects of learning and education that will be in the center. This is something that will interest many at UiB and in Norway just now, in the era of Kvalitetsmeldingen.

Here are great opportunities for UiB employees to participate, be inspired, share experiences, meet other teachers or researchers, and promote all the wonderful stuff we do in Bergen to the world. You can contribute with a presentation or poster, and participate in the panel and workshop, or just be a participant. Deadline for submitting abstracts is 1 April.

Read about Call for proposals here.

And more information about ISSOTL18 is available here.

Good news: UiB and some of the faculties are helping with the conference fee. Information on how to apply will be given later. And it will be student grants.
