Conference Information

Experiencing Higher Education: Global Trends and Transformations - Newer Researcher Perspectives
Celtic Manor, Newport, Wales, UK

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
(Deadline for Submission of Abstracts and Posters : Monday 15th July 2013)

Dear Colleagues,

The Society warmly invites contributions for its Newer Researchers Conference 2013.

Call for Abstracts is available to download here.

This year, echoing the theme of the SRHE Annual Research Conference, we invite you to contribute to the critical discussion around Experiencing Higher Education: Global Trends and Transformations from the perspective of the Newer Researcher.

This will involve exploring trends and transformations in HE across the globe and asking how these are influencing the experiences of those who study and work in the sector.

These debates are significant for everyone with a stake in contemporary higher education. They fundamentally inform the research questions newer researchers should be asking and debating given the huge societal and global challenges we face.

Whether returning to the SRHE Conference to present your own work or seeking to engage with the emerging debates with international delegates for the first time, the Newer Researchers conference also provides many opportunities for you to not only network with your peers but more experienced researchers, as well as gaining experience through chairing presentations. This is an excellent event for postgraduate students and newer researchers, providing the opportunity to present research work in a nurturing environment and participate in a number of seminars and discussions.

The deadline for submission of proposals is Monday 15 July 2013.This timetable will enable all submitting authors to receive early notification of abstracts accepted and take full advantage of early booking discounts.

We look forward once again to receiving your proposals and to another very successful conference at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales, UK and encourage you to submit your work and register for the conference as soon as possible.
