The University Teachers' Conference

Stockholm University organises a biennial teacher conference. The conference is aimed at teaching staff and staff with teaching-related tasks at the university. An opportunity to meet colleagues and share experiences on teaching, development and research in higher education pedagogy. The Conference language is Swedish but there is also an English-speaking track.

Teaching and learning seminars

Who should learn what and why? How can we then organise teaching? How should teaching be 'designed' to best fulfil its potential? How do we design our learning environments? 

We all have challenges in our teaching and want to create good conditions for learning for our students. So how do we do this in our different subjects? What does the latest research show?

Our subject didactic lunch seminars are an opportunity for you to keep abreast of the latest research on teaching and learning in your particular subject, a neighbouring subject or perhaps even a completely different subject. Good examples and inspiration are promised!

We invite international and national researchers who have immersed themselves in exciting teaching issues in the humanities, social sciences, aesthetics and natural sciences. They give a presentation about their research either on site or via Zoom, and we as listeners then have the opportunity for a subsequent, more informal, dialogue with the lecturer. If we are on site, we offer sandwiches and drinks.

SAMTAL@SU is aimed at university teachers in the natural sciences and in the humanities. The programme will be published on a regular basis.
