The call for papers for the 2017 Annual Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) Conference: Students, Quality, Success is now CLOSED.
This year, TEQSA is again collaborating with Higher Ed Services (HES) to present the conference which will be held on 29 and 30 November and in conjunction with the annual HES Higher Education Compliance and Quality (HECQ) Forum on 1 December. The venue is the Grand Hyatt, Collins Street, Melbourne.
Presenting at the 2017 Annual TEQSA Conference offers a valuable opportunity to connect directly with colleagues across the higher education sector. The inaugural TEQSA Conference in 2016 attracted more than 400 delegates from 111 higher education institutions, government and industry and there is already a high degree of interest in this year’s event.
Presentations exploring the three key themes of Students, Quality and Success with particular emphasis on innovative approaches, evidence-based outcomes and collaborative initiatives are welcome. Submissions from early career academics and higher education professionals are encouraged.
The first two days of the conference will focus on plenaries and panel discussions while the third day will be dedicated to concurrent sessions stemming from the call for papers.
Please note, you must register to attend the conference in order to be a presenter.
