The 'ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference' seeks to engage participants in open, international and interdisciplinary discussions. To this end, applicants are requested to select one of the following formats for their contribution:
- Interactive presentations: as a contributor, you seek to facilitate a lively discussion with the group about a specific topic. Contributions should include a 10min input followed by 20min of structured dialogue with the participants. A session chair will facilitate the discussion; presenters are invited to prepare guiding questions. Presentations will be paired up (when/if possible) as one 60 minutes session.
- Poster presentation sessions: the poster session will include three phases of which 1- pitching of the posters to the audience by briefly introducing the addressed topic (max. 10 minute per poster); 2- discussion between attendees and contributors (60min max); 3- visit of the stands by the contributors themselves and discussion with their colleagues and the other participants.
- Interactive and/or co-creative workshops: your workshop actively engage the participants to work together with your ideas and learn from each other's experiences. Workshops will last 60 to 90 minutes and may include short inputs, but they are designed as interactive moments and activities in which the participants can collaborate even co-create (e.g.: working in small groups and/or on formats like world café, etc.).
The T&L 2023 Governance Board will also pilot the organisation of round tables in collaboration with the two sub-groups of the Peer Review Cycle (Entrepreneurship Support and Career Guidance).
All sessions will be held on-site in Bordeaux.

REVIEW PROCESS CRITERIA
All applications will be assessed using the following selection criteria:
- Relevance of proposed topic: How does the proposed topic align with the conference theme? What insight or benefit does the proposed topic provide to session participants regarding the theme or challenge that it addresses? Does the topic fully engage the contributor in a discussion around one or more of the 4 main questions asked (empowering students: why? How? What changes for the student? what changes for the educator?).
- Session format and planned outcomes: how does the proposed contribution align with the available session formats, and does it include a proposed strategy for delivery? What are the planned outcomes and do these align with the overall conference theme of active participant engagement? Is there a plan for how participants will engage and interact during the session? Is it congruent with the format of the session?
- Student/learner involvement: does the proposed contribution include perspectives of learners? Will learner representatives be involved in the development and/or delivery of the contribution? Since we welcome student participation, extra consideration will be given to submissions that include students in the development and delivery of the session.
- Link with ENLIGHT: to what extent can the innovative teaching practices presented be integrated into ENLIGHT/be offered to ENLIGHT students/involve ENLIGHT teachers? How do they relate to the ENLIGHT Competence Framework ? Can they be scaled up/replicated within the alliance?
The above criteria helps define how submitted proposals align with the conference theme, as well as with other contributions. The selection criteria will also assist ENLIGHT reviewers in identifying aspects of particular relevance, missing information or needs for clarification.
