During EduFest 2026 we invite you to share your innovative and inclusive practices that shape the future of higher education. We welcome contributions from academics, professional services staff, and students.

This year’s week-long programme will be carefully designed to support colleagues in reflecting on and enhancing their approaches to learning and teaching. Across five days.

Monday 15th, Tuesday 16th, Thursday 18th and Friday 19th June will be workshops held online. Wednesday 17th June 2026 will be our in person celebratory event.
