The Joint 2024 Conference of the EARLI Special Interest Groups (SIGs) 4 (Higher Education) and 17 (Methods in Learning Research) is scheduled to take place at Utrecht, the Netherlands from September 25-27, 2024.
In today’s dynamic and diverse world, higher education institutions face the challenge of imparting knowledge to students while equipping them with the necessary skills to navigate an ever-changing landscape. The evolving demands of the labor market require higher education institutions to foster adaptability and provide students with vital transferable competencies, including interdisciplinary collaboration, effective communication, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities. To meet these demands, innovative pedagogical approaches have gained significant popularity in enhancing the skill sets of university students. By embracing innovation and evidence, higher education can pave the way for a transformative future. Through scientific exploration and the exchange of ideas in our next joint SIG04 and SIG 17 conference, we aim to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding the changing landscape of higher education. Our ultimate goal is to inspire actionable initiatives that enable educators and higher education institutions to effectively prepare students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. By embracing innovation and evidence-based practices, we can ensure that higher education remains relevant, impactful, and aligned with the needs of students and the broader society.
Bringing together two long-standing EARLI SIGs provides an opportunity to initiate, foster and consolidate synergies and collaborations in research areas present in both communities. In doing so, we hope the conference opens new perspectives to each other’s interests which are wide-ranging.
