Shaping Tomorrow: Work-integrated, research-informed & inclusive education
Monday 11 May 2026 - Monday May 11 2026
Location: Sir Ian Wood Building, RGU Campus
This event brings together colleagues from across the university to share teaching and learning-related practice and research in support of a high-quality student experience at RGU.
This year’s theme connects with the strategic ambitions of RGU’s Roadmap to 2030 and the QAA Scottish Tertiary Enhancement Programme’s focus on Supporting Diverse Learner Journeys.
The programme features a diverse range of presentations, workshops and lightning talks related to the conference tracks.
- Work-integrated learning: e.g. work-based learning; employability; skills development.
- Research-informed teaching: e.g. research-led teaching; research-based learning; teaching and research linkages.
- Inclusive learning: e.g. inclusive curriculum design, delivery, assessment, student support and/or engagement.
- Future-focused education: e.g. Education for Sustainable Development; Gen AI; interdisciplinary learning; collaborative provision.
