Call for Proposals

Following the productive tradition established in our previous SIG 11 conferences in Stavanger (Norway) and Cork (Ireland), we especially encourage paper submissions related to the theme of the next biannual EARLI conference in Amsterdam (2009): Fostering Communities of Learning.  Presentations related to this theme will encourage further interaction and enable joint projects for the preparation of the next main EARLI conference. In addition, any other new (ongoing) work in the field of teaching and teacher education is welcome. The conference language will be English.

Submissions of paper or poster proposals must include:

  1. Title of the presentation
  2. Name(s), affiliation(s), address and e-mail address
  3. Summary of 500 words (max.) including theoretical perspectives, research questions, methods, results.

A committee of SIG members will review all proposals.
