🎉 Call for Papers Now Open: HEIR Network Annual Conference 2026 🎉 

Enhancement, compassion, analytics and data: enabling institutional success 

 

Join us at Abertay University in Dundee on 3–4 September 2026 for two inspiring days of discussion, debate and collaboration around how enhancement, compassion, analytics and data can drive institutional success across higher education. 

 

This year’s conference will explore four interconnected sub‑themes: 

  • Transitions and outcomes 

  • Curriculum and enhancement 

  • Learning environments 

  • Institutional strategy and planning 

We warmly invite proposals that showcase innovation, insight and impact from across the sector. Submissions are welcome in the form of: 

  • Research and Evaluation papers 

  • Lightning talks 

  • Posters 

 

Whether you’re sharing cutting‑edge research, practical enhancement work, or early ideas you’d like to test with the community, there’s a format to suit everyone. 

Submission deadline: 28 April 2026 — but why wait? Get your ideas in early and be part of shaping what promises to be a stimulating and supportive conference.
