In support of the educational goals of ENLIGHT, the Teaching and Learning Conference annually convenes teachers, program administrators, educational developers, students and other stakeholders in order to provide teachers with know-how on innovative student-centered and research-oriented learning approaches and other aspects of teaching. 

The conference each year broadly includes opportunities to:

• Share, discuss, and celebrate effective or innovative teaching practices that are being realised at the different partner institutions.  
• Co-create in-network educational programs, courses, and other related initiatives specific to innovative teaching across ENLIGHT universities.  
• Build collective knowledge specifically related to the goals of ENLIGHT

As one of our core events to share ideas and discuss our various teaching and learning practices, this ENLIGHT conference series aims to build a joint knowledge base within our network.

Target Groups for the Conference 

• ENLIGHT Teachers: academics, pedagogic leaders, program coordinators, and researchers, with particular emphasis on those designing educational courses and programmes.  
• ENLIGHT Students: The ENLIGHT conference strives to include students as presenters, attendees, or both, in order to balance viewpoints between teaching and learning counterparts and stimulate a constructive dialogue.  
• ENLIGHT Educational developers: those responsible for disseminating teaching practice in their own universities will benefit from, and add significant value to, this event.  
• ENLIGHT Administrative staff: for instance staff from International Offices, IT departments, library personnel, etc.
