The clock is ticking and that deadline is fast approaching; don't forget that it is this Friday 25th January.
So, just one more time - here is everything that you will need to know about submissions for our UALL Conference.
Call for Papers
There are three underlying themes for the conference and we're inviting you to propose a paper, workshop or poster in line with anyone of these themes:
Learning and Place: focusing on where innovation occurs including both the role of learning in responding to innovation and new initiatives linked to place and the way learning is embedded in it, for example, Learning Cities, Towns or Communities, or learning in the changing context of work, leisure, family, travel and tourism
Transformational Change: focusing on how innovation occurs and the link to Lifelong Learning for example emerging technologies, practice based approaches
Innovative in Daily Life and Lifelong Learning: focusing on ensuring that innovation is shared by all for example innovative inclusive or accessible responses to learning in work, leisure, travel education
How to submit your proposals?
Paper presentations: Please submit a short version of your paper, of 1000 words including an abstract between 50 - 100 words. Those accepted to present papers will be invited to submit a full paper consideration for publication in a special issue of the journal Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning (Open University)
Workshops: Please send an abstract of between 250 - 300 words detailing the aims of your workshops and the ways in which you will engage delegates

For this year, we are putting on a showcasing session during the informal dinner on Wednesday 10th April. This can be in the form of a poster session or a mini presentations. Please send in a proposal on what you showcased, how it relates to a theme and how best this can be achieved. This is open to our delegates AND our Award nominees.
Submissions are simple. So simple. All you need to do is send all abstracts and proposals to admin@uall.ac.uk by 25th January!
Now ... onto the UALL Awards
For this year we have four categories that you can submit under. The submission is based on a maximum of 1200 words and can include suitable images and/ or include suitable images and/ or web links, as you deem appropriate. When submitting you will be asked to apply for a specific award based on one of the four categories. Categories focus on the intended or actual outcome of the activity.

Recognition: There will be an informal welcome evening event on 10th April where UALL will host a showcasing event during the buffet to help delegates promote and discuss their work. During which all our UALL Awards nominees will be given the option to lead mini presentations and discussions with the other delegates about their shortlisted work/ project.
The actual Awards ceremony will be held during the formal conference dinner at the Museum of Enginuity. There will be a chance for you to dabble in the interactive exhibition during the drinks reception.
