The Conference will take place on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 June 2024 in University Place and will include a welcoming drinks reception on the evening of Wednesday, 26 June in the prestigious Whitworth Hall. This gathering is a wonderful opportunity for attendees to network and socialise in a relaxed setting.
Hybrid conference format
In our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, the 2024 conference will be a hybrid event. Attendees will have the flexibility to participate in plenaries and parallel sessions either in-person or live via Zoom. This format ensures that all members of our community, regardless of their location, can benefit from the knowledge-sharing and discussions. Just like last year's event, we will curate a legacy web resource showcasing the fabulous papers and contributions to the conference.
Open and free to attend
The conference is open to all staff and students at the University of Manchester, free of charge. It is an excellent chance for our community to come together, share insights, and learn from each other's experiences in advancing teaching and learning practices.

The Conference will be based around the following strategic themes
1. Student partnership and the student voice: How can we approach T&L in partnership with our students, ensuring their perspective, experience and potential is fully embraced?
2. Exploring assessment: What does effective and authentic assessment look like at UoM? What practices, process and pedagogy can we use to ensure assessment and importantly feedback on assessment supports learning?
3. Sustainability and the socially responsible curriculum: Where do pedagogical practice and theory intersect with social responsibility and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals? How can we bring in elements of service learning or other community led pedagogies? How can we encourage and enable students to drive social responsibility forward in their learning?
4. The future of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education: Critical reflections on current practice and positive changes for the sector’s long-term future, for example what is the role of AI in the future of HE? What roles will lifelong learning play? How does the sector need to support students beginning their education journey to support their future learning?
