The University of Manchester Teaching and Learning Conference 2026
We are excited to announce that the dates for the University's fourth annual teaching and learning conference have been confirmed as 8th and 9th July 2026. The conference is open to all UoM staff and students, with flexible booking, and is free of charge. This year there will also be some limited external tickets available.
The conference provides an important opportunity for colleagues to share and learn about exemplary teaching and learning, equitable practice and as an essential platform for student voices. This year’s focus will be on:
- Research-Informed Teaching and Learning
- Teaching and Learning as Innovation
- Social Justice in Teaching and Learning
Hybrid conference format
In our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, the 2026 conference will be a hybrid event. Attendees will have the flexibility to participate in plenaries and parallel sessions either in-person or livestreamed via YouTube. 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.
