The Call for Papers for the 2026 Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conference is OPEN with a deadline of 16 January 2026.

Edinburgh Futures Institute is scheduled to host the 2026 Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conference on 16 April 2026.

This year’s Conference will focus on how interdisciplinarity can be supported, structured and created in different educational contexts, including those before and beyond higher education.

A learner’s interdisciplinary journey may start at various points and this Conference will focus on the place for interdisciplinary opportunities – including points within the curriculum as well as physical and intellectual spaces.

The focus will also consider collaborations for transdisciplinarity across disciplines and across organisational boundaries – within universities, with primary and secondary schools, with the local community or external partners.
