THEME

Junior Researchers Thinking Tomorrow's Education

In times of constant changes, the future is a moving target - difficult to predict and prepare for. Yet, education is doing just that. At the 18th biennial EARLI Conference and the accompanying 23rd Conference of the Junior Researchers of EARLI, researchers in learning and instruction from all over the world come together to discuss current research findings. In order to think tomorrow’s education and education research, it is crucial to relate new findings to what we already know and elaborate how this will help foster sustainable learning processes and navigating what is yet to come.

This is specifically true for junior researchers participating in the 23rd Conference of the JURE Conference. Together with their fellows, junior researchers will exchange ideas and experiences and develop a fresh new view on ways of exploring what it takes to enable successful learning and instruction in different contexts.

VENUE

Willkommen in Aachen– Welcome to Aachen!

Located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s westernmost city offers a rich history and cultural, archeological and architectural heritage.

Characterised by winding alleys flanked by baroque buildings and overlooked by its famous UNESCO world heritage Cathedral, the city was the seat of Charlemagne, sometimes referred to as the “Father of Europe”. He can be considered as one of the first persons who helped to mold a collective European historical thinking.

Located on the three country corner, where the borders of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands meet, Aachen is a popular tourist destination, easily reached by train and car. There are a myriad of airports to choose from spread across several countries – Maastricht-Aachen (NL), Cologne, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf (DE) or Brussels (BE) – each of which offer a good railway connection to the city. Aachen counts approximately 45,000 students on a population of 258,000. As a high-tech city, it is involved in several cross-border knowledge region initiatives such as the ELAt (triangle Eindhoven – Leuven – Aachen).

JURE 2019 will be hosted by RWTH Aachen University at the Semi_Temp building which is located at Schinkelstraße, 15.

Materials for fixing posters on the walls or poster boards will be provided.

Each round table session will consist of up to 3 conceptually linked projects.Each presenter has five minutes to introduce his/her project and raise one or two open questions. Twenty-five minutes are intended for discussion.

IMPORTANT DATES

Due to a possible clash with the Formula 1 in Spa-Francorchamps (BE) which takes place at the end of August, EARLI has decided to move its conference a bit earlier, now taking place from August 10th-11th (JURE 2019) and 12th- 16th (EARLI 2019).

BEST OF JURE

At each JURE conference, the best scoring papers, posters and roundtables are shortlisted to win the Best of JURE award. Their contribution and presentation will be assessed by an international jury consisting of Junior and Senior researchers. Want to know who snatches the prize? Attend the Best of JURE sessions during the conference and find out who wins at the JURE Gala Dinner!

BREAK EXPRESS

During the coffee break on Saturday and from 13.50 on Sunday, we offer a 5 to 7-minutes activity break, which is led by qualified trainers from the university sports centre. The exercises include loosening, stretching, relaxing and strengthening exercises, especially for the shoulder, neck and back muscles. The aim of this moving break is to increase the concentration and well-being of the delegates.

SOCIAL EVENTS

For JURE 2019 delegates looking to get to know the town of Aachen and its surroundings, we offer a variety of social events. These include a walk to the tri-border three country border, where Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands meet, guided tours through the historical centre and informal gatherings at a local pub.

The JURE 2019 gala dinner will take place on Sunday evening, the 11th of August at the Couvenhalle. Be sure to purchase your gala dinner ticket (€ 10,00) if you wish to attend!
