THEME

Thinking Tomorrow's Education: Learning from the past, in the present and for the future.

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.

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’s involved in several cross-border knowledge region initiatives such as the ELAt (triangle Eindhoven – Leuven – Aachen).

Hosted at the RWTH Aachen University, we are looking forward to welcome you in the brand-new state-of-the-art C.A.R.L. building, offering the perfect conference setting, and closely located to the Aachen train station (2 kilometres) and historic city centre.

EARLI 2019 GOES GREEN!

To lower the environmental impact of our conference, we are taking a number of steps to reduce waste and offer eco-friendly alternatives to your conference experience.  Each delegate will receive a special EARLI 2019 reusable water bottle in their conference bag, instead of using plastic cups for water breaks. Reusable porcelain coffee mugs will replace throwaway plastic or paper mugs for your daily caffeine fix. Additionally, printed programme books will be offered at a small surcharge or 10€ to those who prefer a hard copy (to be purchased together with your registration ticket). The EARLI 2019 conference app offers an environmentally-friendly alternative to check the last updates to the conference programme!

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).

SUBMISSION TYPES

The submission deadline expired on the 31st of October, 2018.

Click here to consult the submission guidelines. 

The following submission types are welcomed:

Paper

PAPER

Paper sessions consist of four paper presentations, followed by a discussion with the audience. Each presenter will be given 15 minutes presentation time, followed by five minutes for questions. At the end of all presentations, there is a ten-minute open discussion. It is important that empirical papers indicate clear 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 also welcomed.

A paper session consists of four papers and is scheduled for 90 minutes.

Poster

POSTER

Interactive poster sessions involve five or six posters, visually presenting research studies. This format is perfect for developing research and/or preliminary results. A short oral presentation of about 5 minutes for each poster is given to an audience gathered as a group. After the authors’ brief presentation, an in-depth discussion between them and the audience follows. The poster sessions offer presenters the opportunity for interaction and discussion with the audience.
Poster sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes, following the format above. Materials for fixing posters on the walls or poster boards will be provided.

Symposium

SYMPOSIUM

Symposia provide an opportunity to present research on one topic, often from multiple perspectives, compiling a coherent set of papers for discussion. Symposia sessions are directed by a chair, involving four presenters and one discussant, from at least three different countries. 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 2019.

A symposium is scheduled for 90 minutes, allowing 15 minutes presentation time per speaker, ten minutes for the discussant, and 20 minutes for open discussion.

Round Table

ROUNDTABLE

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. Roundtable sessions will take place in seminar rooms with a board-room style table.

Three to five roundtable sessions are clustered together per session, and are scheduled for 90 minutes.

ICT

ICT DEMONSTRATION

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 viewpoints and share their experiences with similar tools or different tools for the same purpose.

ICT Demonstrations are scheduled individually, for 90 minutes.

JACOBS FOUNDATION TRAVEL AWARD

The EARLI Executive Committee (EC) in collaboration with the Jacobs Foundation, would like to express its commitment to valorise high quality research conducted in countries that are facing financial struggles and where researchers have little access to travel funds.

As such, we are pleased to offer the Jacobs Foundation Travel Award, granted in the form of a waived conference fee for the EARLI 2019 and/or JURE 2019 conference and a € 1.000 travel and accommodation budget.
