This conference is primarily (but not solely) a collaboration between faculty and graduate students and is intended to complement the "Education without Borders” (EWOB) conference held in the fall. EWOB was intended primarily as a community-building event, while this collaborative conference provides an academic focus and is open to a broader range of attendees.

This event will provide a unique forum for graduate student-faculty teams and others to showcase their educational and research activities to the Faculty of Education community and beyond. We have received funding from the Vice-President, Research; Vice-President, Academic; and the Dean of Education, and we expect a contribution from our Graduate Students Association. Therefore, the registration fee will be minimal.
