Educational Conference 2026
The theme for the conference was 'Education in practice'.
SLU's degree programmes are mostly professional or vocational educations that address issues that are central to society. We educate our students so that they can work in and develop the vocation and the world they enter after graduation. A solid theoretical and scientific foundation in degree programs is important, but equally important are practical knowledge and concrete practical experience. This year's education conference deals with practical knowledge from two different perspectives: firstly, how we develop the practical knowledge that our students need to acquire, but also how we develop our own practice as university teachers.
In addition to presentations by our keynote speakers, there was be plenty of occasions for conference participants to share experiences and exchange ideas with each other. Several parallel thematic sessions (in Swedish or English), with presentations, workshops and posters, gave the conference participants the opportunity to delve into something that piqued their curiosity.
