DEE 2027 Call for Proposals

Session types

DEE 2027 session proposals should focus on research or practice in economics university education and can be one of the following:

  • Papers: Paper presentations should be used for pedagogical research and/or evaluation of economics learning, teaching, assessment and/or curriculum innovations. Some form of evidence/analysis is typically required. These involve 20 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes for questions.
  • Innovations: These presentations should be used to share a practical innovation that you have implemented (for example in teaching, assessment, student engagement/support). No formal evaluation of the impact is required. These sessions are an opportunity to share good practice and gain feedback on how to develop innovations further. They will involve 10 minutes presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A.
  • Interactive workshops: Workshops should be used to demonstrate teaching/assessment methods and must be interactive or involve significant engagement with/between participants. We shall be happy to include workshops that have a primary value of allowing participants to experience methods or contribute to continuing professional development. Workshops will usually be allocated 45 minutes.
  • Panels: Panels may be used to discuss a particular policy, issue or development within higher education economics. They should be limited to four speakers (including the Chair) to ensure sufficient time. These will usually be allocated 45 minutes.
