Submission of Abstracts

Proposals should be submitted using our online submission process. The deadline for submission of proposals is 24 July 2009.

bullet  Submit your proposal for the SRHE Conference 2009 here

All submissions will be subject to rigorous peer review by panels of assessors specially selected for each research domain. Some proposals may be accepted for joint presentation in discussion workshops only. Please indicate when submitting proposals if you are unwilling to accept this (in which case, you may be unable to present).



In order to maintain the high quality of papers presented at the conference and to ensure that the review process has access to a sufficient level of detail on paper proposals the Society is introducing some changes to requirements for abstract submission this year. Submitting authors are asked to provide a short paper for peer review in two parts.

Please note that both parts will be required at the point of first submission, but there will be no subsequent call for fuller papers for accepted abstracts.
  • Part 1 Abstract: This needs to be a 150 word maximum summary of the proposal. This will be the information printed in the published conference programme.
  • Part 2 Outline: It will be a maximum 1000 word outline of the research to be presented. Both parts will be required at the point of first submission and there will be no subsequent call for full papers for accepted abstracts later in the year.
Proposals should state clearly the title of the paper on which the abstract is based, the name of the authors and their affiliations as they should appear in the conference proceedings, the name of the person or persons who will be presenting the work at the conference, again with the affiliations as they should appear in the conference proceedings.

Submissions must be made under one of the specified research domains established and authors should choose the domain which fits most closely with the content of the presentation.

It is appreciated that it is not always obvious which domain provides a best fit but authors are encouraged to submit proposals in the domain in which they would like their paper to be timetabled. The Conference welcomes research papers relating to further, higher, undergraduate, postgraduate and professional education in all research domains and where possible such papers will be grouped on a sector basis as well as a domain theme.

These research domains are aligned with the Society’s networks and the peer review process will be led by network convenors, ensuring rigorous review by peers with appropriate research knowledge and expertise. Contributors are encouraged to relate their submissions to the Conference theme and explore their research findings in the context of Challenging Higher Education and the subsets of theme outline above.

Research Domains
  • Academic Practice, Work and Cultures
  • Higher Education Policy
  • Management, Leadership and Governance
  • Learning and Teaching
  • Student Experience
