About RAISE 2026 at Northumbria

This two-day hybrid conference will take place at Northumbria University’s City Campus in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, with a focus on the theme of ‘Authentic Student Engagement in Contemporary Higher Education’. Drawing in 200+ delegates and 80+ presentations, our flagship event grows year on year, bringing together students, professional services and academics from across the world to share best practice, research findings and network with peers.

 

The submissions are now closed and every entry is under-going a double-blind peer review and the outcomes will be communicated to those who have submitted by the 1st April.

Our conference sub-themes are below:

• Responding to GenAI (including playful and purposeful learning)

• Embedding Employability into Assessment and the Curriculum

• Ensuring Education Remains People Focused: Balancing Attendance with Inclusivity

• Partnering with Students as Co-Creators of a Future Higher Education

• Evolving Roles and Third-Space Practices for Authentic Engagement
