Collaboration and Community:
Building Connections in Higher Education
Online International Teaching & Learning Conference: 9th July 2025, 9:15-16:00
The University of Hull is delighted to announce its annual Teaching and Learning Conference, to be held online on the 9th July. This year, we invite academics, students, practitioners, and professional services staff from across the sector to explore the theme of Collaboration and Community. As the higher education landscape evolves, fostering meaningful connections within and beyond our institutions is critical for enriching the student experience, supporting staff well-being, and addressing global challenges. As ever, we will also run an in-person event for local colleagues on Thursday 10th July along the same theme.
Conference Sub-Themes
The Call for Contributions has now closed and proposals are currently being reviewed. The Conference programme will be available on 7th May when bookings will open.

- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Strategies for bridging disciplines to enhance learning outcomes.
- Student-Staff Partnerships: Co-creation of curricula, assessments, and learning experiences.
