Conferences & Events - Centre for Innovation in Education

Conferences & Events

At CIE we hold various Conferences and Events throughout the year.

The Learning and Teaching Conference is an annual summer event in which colleagues from the University of Liverpool share innovative practice in learning and teaching.

The Liverpool Learning Summit takes place every year with a new theme. This week-long event brings together colleagues from UoL and other universities and organisations across the UK to discuss and present on the chosen theme.

The Islands of Innovation, inspired by our Treasure Island Pedagogies podcast series, takes place every May, where educators across the globe share their lightbulb moments, teaching props and pedagogies to create their imagined future of education.

The Generative AI Festival is held annually in September, and is a series of sessions designed to support and inspire our academic and professional services staff for the upcoming academic year. Recordings from GenAI Fest 2024 are available on our Padlet.
