Frequently Asked Questions 

What are the different session formats? 

We have the following 7 different formats: 

Workshop, Paper, Panel Discussion, Lightning Talk, Flip Session, Conversation, Innovative/other. 

To find details of each format, go to our proposal page and click on the format title for the description in the drop-down label.  

When will my proposal be looked at? 

After the Open Call submission window closes on 17 April we will begin the Peer Review process, where your anonymous proposal will be reviewed by a minimum of 3 colleagues. We aim to let you know the outcome by the end of May.  

Can students submit a proposal? 

Since this is a staff conference, students cannot submit proposals independently. However, we warmly welcome collaboration between students and staff. Students can also co-host sessions with UAL staff. 

Can external guests be invited to be part of a proposal presentation? 

Yes, we welcome external partners and collaborators to be included in your proposals and in attendance on the day. However, as this is an internal University conference, we cannot accept proposals from non-UAL Staff. 

Can I get any help with my proposal? 

Yes! Email us at educationconference@arts.ac.uk and we’ll try to put you in touch with a mentor in your local College, or someone from the Teaching, Learning and Employability Exchange. 

Will the sessions be recorded? 

Historically sessions at the Conference have not been recorded. However, we are planning to programme a recorded hybrid space, so that sessions programmed in this room will be available to watch at a later date.
