Learn more about the HEA Teaching & Learning Conference 2025.

Hosted by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), the Teaching & Learning Conference 2025 will bring together leaders, educators, researchers, professional staff and policymakers to reflect on the evolving landscape of teaching and learning in higher education. This year’s theme, “Leading Change Together: Building the Future of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education,” focuses on how collaboration, leadership and evidence-informed policy and practice can drive meaningful change across teaching and learning and support student success.

The conference takes place within the context of a year of significant development in teaching and learning at national level. The HEA has worked in consultation with institutions and stakeholders to progress a new strategy for teaching and learning, advance national frameworks for professional recognition and the responsible use of GenAI, and strengthen sector-wide engagement with Education for Sustainable Development and Student Success. Continued investment through enhancement initiatives and programmes has supported innovation and collaboration across the system, providing an important backdrop for reflection and shared learning at this year’s event.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the higher education community, share experiences, and explore case studies and emerging areas in teaching and learning and student engagement. The conference aims to support a shared vision for the future of teaching and learning in Ireland.
