Programme
The draft programme is available as a PDF. There will likely be changes before the final version.
DEE 2025 will have three kinds of session examining research or practice in economics university education:
- Papers – Paper presentations should be used for pedagogical research; economics learning, teaching or assessment innovations; or research reviews. These involve 20 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes for questions.
- Interactive workshops – Workshops must involve some interaction and engagement with the participants and should be used to demonstrate teaching/assessment methods. We shall be happy to include workshops whose primary value is to disseminate good practice or contribute to continuing professional development. Workshops will usually be allocated 45 minutes.
- Panels – Panels may be used to highlight a particular policy or issue within higher education economics. They should be limited to four speakers to ensure sufficient time. These will usually be allocated 45 minutes.
If you are accepted to the conference, we shall also ask you to send us, by 1 August 2025, a 750-word summary of the paper (which may include up to two tables/diagrams/figures) for inclusion in the conference booklet (for paper sessions).
Session timings for the DEE and INERME conferences are available in this PDF.
