Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conference 2026

16th April 9:00 AM 5:30 PM BST

This year’s Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conference will be hosted by Edinburgh Futures Institute, at the University of Edinburgh.

The conference theme is Interdisciplinary Pathways: Engaging Learners and Creating Opportunities. The conference is open to everyone involved with interdisciplinary learning and teaching, within and outside university contexts. We especially want to emphasise that students and early-career researchers, staff from education sectors outside higher education, and community partners, are warmly welcome to attend.

This year will focus on how interdisciplinarity can be supported, structured and created in different educational contexts, including those before and beyond higher education.

Registration will be £85, with some bursaries available for students and non-HE delegates.
