The Conference focuses on the following questions: How can we turn our traditional educational institutions into (r)evolutionary leading organisations? How can innovation be stimulated?

It will observe and analyse how open innovation can be used to transform today's educational institutions. Educational institutions have mostly taken an evolutionary approach in responding to the challenges of the modern world. But the incremental innovation of our educational institutions is not sufficient to cope with the ongoing fundamental transformation of societies.

The Conference organizers seek first-rate research articles by academics, but also case studies and reflective articles by practitioners in order to provide a critical view on technology, development, implementation, strategy, management, and policy in the field of innovation and quality of learning.

Papers should be submitted in two parts: a full research paper for possible publication in the first edition of the International Journal for Innovation and Quality in Learning plus an abstract describing how the findings of the paper can be presented as a discussion/workshop at the Conference.

The Journal is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication with an international perspective on the theory and practice of innovation and quality in the field of learning at all educational levels and in all training contexts. It focuses on the relation between innovation and quality in education and seeks contributions that discuss how technology can contribute to innovation and enhance the quality of learning.
