ONLINE CONFERENCE

The EARLI Executive Committee has decided, after careful consideration, that the EARLI 2021 Conference in Gothenburg will move fully online. The continuing uncertainty about what the pandemic situation will be next summer is making it impossible to plan.

We feel that making this decision early on allows us to plan creatively for a vibrant, intellectually rich conference. The conference theme – Education and Citizenship: learning and Instruction and the Shaping of Futures – has a new resonance in the light of COVID-19.

The JURE and EARLI 2021 conferences will be hosted through Pheedloop, our virtual event platform.

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

THEME

"Education and Citizenship: Learning and Instruction and the Shaping of Futures"

Democratic societies build on ideas of active citizens who participate in and contribute to social, cultural and economic development. The UN Agenda 2030 specifies the goals involved in building sustainable and just societies able to successfully address the challenges we face in Anthropocene. Learning and instruction in its various settings play an increasingly important role in promoting the values, skills and knowledge that will allow us to foster active citizens who are able to contribute to sustainable and peaceful co-existence. EARLI can help to advance our understanding of the role and impact of education by addressing the processes and outcomes of learning in broad and innovative ways. This includes attending to features such as the role of learning and instruction for the promotion of agency, the development of collaborative skills, the deepening of a sense of belonging in society and, not least, for the commitment to future learning among all citizens.

The joy and excitement of learning and of knowledge sharing and creation, represent significant components of learning, and they should be considered as important outcomes of learning along with our traditional competence measures. In this respect, they need far more attention from researchers. The pandemic spreading during 2020 reminded us of the fact that the future is increasingly difficult to predict but it seems safe to say that learning and re-learning will continue a top prioirity regardless of the future. The EARLI community accepts the responsibility to show how learning and instruction are consequential for the intellectual, social and cultural fabric of societies striving to shape their future on the road to sustainability.

SUBMISSION TYPES

In light of the online conference, the submission types have been slightly altered (since December 7th). Consult our updated submission guidelines for further information on new formats and timings.
Submissions for EARLI 2021 have now closed.

PAPER

Paper sessions are oral presentations, followed by a discussion with the audience. It is important that empirical papers have data and results, or they will not be accepted. Research that is at an earlier stage is very suitable for Roundtable or Poster sessions. Theoretical papers, of course, are welcome. Paper sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes with two presentation formats to choose from:

Single Paper
Single paper sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes and consist of three thematically clustered papers. Each presenter is offered 15 minutes to present their paper, followed by 15 minutes of discussion facilitated by the chair.

Espresso Paper
Espresso paper sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes and consist of six thematically clustered papers. Each presenter pre-records or uploads their presentation for asynchronous viewing, with asynchronous discussion through a discussion forum. During the synchronous session, each presenter is offered 5 minutes to summarise key points of their full presentation, followed by 30 minutes of discussion facilitated by the chair.The recommended time for pre-recorded presentations is 15 minuted per presentation.

A paper session consists of 3 (Single) or 6 (Espresso) papers and is scheduled for 60 minutes.

SYMPOSIUM

Symposia provide an opportunity to present research on one topic, often from multiple perspectives, compiling a coherent set of papers for discussion. Symposium sessions are directed by a chair, involving either three (or, if wished, four) presenters and one discussant, from at least three different countries. The role of the discussant will be to facilitate participation and discussion. One new review criterion will evaluate to which extent the symposium aims to be interactive. We recommend that each individual submission is checked for its own quality and its relevance and coherence to the topic of the symposium prior to formal submission to EARLI 2021.

A symposium is scheduled for 60 minutes, with two presentation formats to choose from:

Symposium
Symposia are scheduled for 60 minutes and consist of three to four live presentations (total of 45 minutes) followed by 15 mins of discussion facilitated by discussant. If you opt for four presentations, please be advised that presentations should fit within the allocated timeslot of 60 minutes, allowing sufficient time for discussion.

Espresso Symposium
Espresso symposia are scheduled for 60 minutes and consist of three to four presentations that are pre-recorded and uploaded for asynchronous viewing prior to the session. The recommended time for pre-recorded presentations is 15 minuted per presentation. The live session involves a brief introduction by the Chair, with 5-minute presentations by each of the presenters, drawing out key points from their presentation. The Discussant facilitates an in-depth discussion for 30 minutes afterwards.

A symposium is scheduled for 60 minutes.

POSTER

Poster sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes and consist of 6 thematically clustered posters. A poster session offers researchers the chance to present their work in a visual format, accompanied by an oral presentation, with opportunities for discussion. A short oral presentation of about 5 minutes for each poster is given. After the authors’ brief presentation, an in-depth discussion between them and the audience follows.

Poster sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes, following the format above.

Consult our Poster Guidelines for further guidance on how best to prepare your poster for presentation.

ROUNDTABLE

Roundtable sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes as a live session and consist of 3 thematically clustered roundtables. Roundtable sessions offer opportunities for a more discursive exploration of research issues. This may well involve discussion of work in progress. The presenters explain their research and research issue, and invite the participants to help to discuss emerging data or to solve a research issue or problem. Each participants will explain and discuss their research one after another, with discussion from participants.

Three roundtable presentations are clustered together per session, and are scheduled for 60 minutes.

ICT DEMONSTRATION

ICT Demonstrations are scheduled for 60 minutes as a live session. ICT Demonstrations allow presenters to display, explain and familiarise users with a potentially useful teaching or research tool or method. The presentation may include references to completed research, but the point of the session is to demonstrate the tool, not present the research for criticism. The audience may offer their viewpoint and share their experiences with similar tools or different tools for the same purpose.

ICT Demonstrations are scheduled individually for 60 minutes.

WORKSHOP

Workshops are scheduled for 60 minutes as a live session. Workshops provide an opportunity to familiarise participants with some aspect of research or teaching practice, so that questioning, and discussion are suitably informed. Learning-by-doing occupies most of the session, and any presentations are brief. Providing adequate time for reflective discussion is important.

Workshops are scheduled individually for 60 minutes.

COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE

Collaborative workspaces are scheduled for 60 minutes as a live session. Collaborative workspaces allow the discussion of ongoing or future research projects with the goal of establishing or strengthening research collaborations. This may include collaborations about constructs that researchers use, but also about methodologies or a specific content area. The submission for a collaborative space should include the main content area for which collaboration shall be established or deepened.

Collaborative workspaces are scheduled individually for 60 minutes.

PANEL
DISCUSSION

Panel Discussions are scheduled for 60 minutes as a live session. Panel discussions allow for an in-depth discussion on a specific topic determined through a separate call, between a maximum of six representatives of stakeholders, policy makers, associations, research institutes or companies. The panel discussion is followed by a Q and A session with the audience.

Panel Discussions are scheduled individually for 60 minutes.
