Submissions open soon
Deadline for proposals: 20 April 2027
We warmly invite abstracts for lightning talks at the Celebrating the Impact of Educational Research Conference. Abstracts are welcome that showcase the impact your research has had, the impact you anticipate it will have, or the potential it holds to influence future research, policy and practice, in a five-minute presentation which can be accompanied by a single slide or poster to illustrate your findings or ideas. The lightning talk format requires brevity and focus, and we are looking for presentations that will provoke, inform and enthral (no pressure!)
We welcome abstracts on the following:
-
Provocation or Critical Question
A presentation that challenges assumptions, sparks debate, or raises a timely question for the research community. -
Methodological Innovation
A presentation that highlights novel approaches to research design, data collection, or analysis—particularly those that push boundaries or respond to contemporary educational challenges. -
Practice or Policy Impact Case Study
A presentation demonstrating how research has influenced educational practice, curriculum, or policy—locally, nationally or internationally.
