Thirty-Third International Conference on Learning
- Digital Literacy for Future Readiness
- 8-10 July 2026
- University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong + Online
The Learner Research Network is brought together around a common concern for learning in all its sites, formal and informal, and at all levels, from early childhood, to schools, colleges and universities, and adult, community and workplace education. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
The Thirty-Third International Conference on Learning calls for research addressing the following annual themes.
We're happy to share the schedule of sessions for the International Conference on Learning. We update the schedule on a weekly basis, so please make sure to check back regularly, as the schedule is subject to change. If you've recently registered but are not yet scheduled, your presentation should appear here within the next week. Because this is a draft schedule, you may be the only paper currently in your session; don't be concerned—we'll include more papers as we update the schedule.
