Conference on University Teaching and Learning

What if the future of education lies in returning to what we have always done best: engaging students as thinkers, creators, and human beings? As technology continues to transform higher education, we invite you to explore how innovation and humanity intersect in teaching and learning. 

How do we leverage technology tools without losing the human connection? What does it mean to create learning experiences that aren’t just tech-enabled, but also human-centred?

We invite you to submit a presentation or poster proposal by January 30, 2026.
