Conference theme

Agency and Academic Development

Academic development, often referred to as educational development in some regions, is a field committed to bridge scholarship, practice, and policy to drive meaningful transformation in universities. At the core of this process lies the concept of agency, understood as the capacity to exert control over the actions, influence the environment and bring about change in our reality (Albert Bandura, 2001). In the context of academic development, agency is reflected in our role as change agents, influencing learning, teaching, and institutional strategies at multiple levels. Exercising agency involves challenging limitations, reconciling conflicting demands, and aligning individual and collective aspirations with broader goals. Through this engagement, we inspire teachers, students, and institutional leaders to explore new approaches that redefine the purpose and impact of higher education. 

Building a strong professional identity is key to exercising agency. This includes balancing research and practice, responding to the evolving expectations of campus leaders, researchers, teachers, and students, and building credibility in diverse institutional settings. As both creators and facilitators of knowledge, academic developers assist study programme managers, teachers and students in enhancing learning experiences and fostering innovative practices that are based in evidence. (Agency and Knowledge) 

Academic development centres must navigate the strategic landscape of higher education, ensuring the work aligns with institutional priorities while responding to societal and systemic changes. This often places academic developers in dual roles: connecting senior leadership and teachers while balancing accountability and the freedom of intellectual exploration. These complexities call for strong communities of practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and alliances within and beyond our institutions. (Agency and Strategy) 

Finally, we play a crucial role in helping university teachers to empower students as active participants in their education. Student agency is understood as the capacity of students to influence their own lives and their environment through responsible decision-making and reflective action (OECD, 2024). Engaging students as partners in curriculum co-creation and learning innovation leads to more inclusive, relevant, and future-ready educational experiences. By fostering student agency, designing curricula that address real-world challenges, and adapting to emerging disruptions like artificial intelligence, we help shape a more dynamic and equitable higher education system. (Agency and Students) 

The ICED 2026 Conference on “AGENCY AND ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT” invites us to explore this concept in depth to better understand the role of academic development centres and its academic and professional staff in transforming academic development and higher education.

Venue

Hospedería

The conference will mainly take place in the Hospedería of the Colegio Arzobispo Fonseca, (marked in blue), ideally situated in the historic centre of Salamanca. The Hospedería is located in Fonseca 2, 37002 Salamanca.

Originally built in the 18th century as an extension of the residence of Archbishop Fonseca, the Hospedería has been carefully restored and transformed into a modern conference centre. It successfully combines contemporary facilities with the distinctive architectural character and scholarly atmosphere of the old University of Salamanca.

Colegio Arzobispo Fonseca
Due to the high number of contributions received, some sessions will be held in selected spaces of the Colegio Fonseca, which also serves as a hotel (marked in red on the map). Participants can move between the Hospedería and Colegio Fonseca through internal corridors connecting the buildings. It is therefore not necessary to exit the building to reach these rooms.

Edificio I+D+I
Some other presentations will also take place in the I+D+i Building, located in Espejo, 2 (37007 Salamanca) just one street away.

To ensure smooth transitions, 15 minutes have been scheduled between sessions, allowing participants to move comfortably between buildings.

Hospedería: Fonseca 2, 37002 Salamanca.

University of Salamanca

Founded in 1218 by King Alfonso IX, the University of Salamanca is the oldest university in the Hispanic world and the third oldest in Europe to have operated without interruption. With over 30,000 students from more than 50 countries, it continues to be a leading institution for teaching, research, and international collaboration. Over the centuries, the University has played a key role in shaping intellectual thought, legal tradition, and linguistic scholarship, most notably as the cradle of the first modern grammar of a European language, Gramática de la lengua castellana by Elio Antonio de Nebrija.

Its historical legacy and commitment to academic excellence make Salamanca a unique setting for scholarly exchange and dialogue.

Submit

Choosing the right format for your contribution is essential. Our comprehensive submission guidelines will walk you through the available formats and provide step-by-step instructions to help you prepare your proposal.

All submissions, reviews, and programme coordination will be managed via EasyChair. You’ll find detailed instructions for using the platform within the submission guidelines as well.

IMPORTANT:
All proposals must be submitted using the designated template provided below.

If you encounter any problems with the submission process, please write to us to academic.support@iced26.es.

At ICED 2026, we welcome the following submission types:

Symposia

Symposia offer an opportunity to present a series of coordinated contributions focused on a shared theme related to academic development. These sessions may bring together multiple perspectives, research findings, or practical innovations from different institutions, regions, or disciplines. Symposia sessions are directed by a chair, involving three to four presenters and one discussant. We welcome proposals that stimulate discussion, integrate theory and practice, and/or reflect international collaboration.

A symposium is scheduled for 90 minutes, allowing 15 minutes presentation time per speaker, 10 minutes for the discussant, and 20 minutes for open discussion.


Paper

Single paper sessions offer participants the opportunity to present and discuss completed or well-developed work. The conference organizers aim to group paper sessions according to theme or topic. Each session encourages the exchange of ideas and constructive feedback across projects with a shared focus. We welcome both: empirical papers, which must include data and results, and theoretical or conceptual papers, which provide evidence-informed analyses, literature-based frameworks, or critical reflections on relevant themes in academic development.

Paper sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes. Four presenters are given 15 minutes presentation time followed by 5 minutes for questions. At the end of all presentations there is a 10- minute open discussion.

Poster

Poster presentations offer a highly interactive format for sharing research, conceptual work, or practical initiatives in academic development. This format is ideal for fostering informal, focused dialogue and exchanging ideas with peers in a visual and engaging way. Each poster session includes several thematically linked contributions. The dynamic is as follows: each presenter gives a brief 5-minute overview of their poster to the audience gathered as a group. After all the authors’ brief presentations, an in-depth discussion between them and the audience follows, in an exhibition format, meaning participants can circulate and engage in deeper conversations with the presenters.

Poster sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes, following the format above. Materials for fixing posters will be provided.


Workshop

Workshops offer participants focused, practice-oriented learning opportunities designed to develop new professional skills in academic development, teaching, leadership, and institutional transformation. They are intensive, hands-on professional development and grounded in evidence-based practices. Workshops should be participant-centered and designed to foster practical takeaways that attendees can apply in their own institutions or teaching contexts.

Workshops during the conference are scheduled for 90 minutes. At the Pre-Conference on June 23, prior to the official start of the ICED26 Conference, each workshop lasts 3 hours. They are offered as an optional add-on session.

 

Collaborative Space

A collaborative space is designed to support early-stage empirical or conceptual work, such as emerging research ideas or conceptual frameworks, work in progress, experiments with new tools, or initial reflections on practice. This space encourages constructive dialogue and potential collaboration, offering participants the opportunity to search for formative feedback, refine their ideas and explore partnerships.

Collaborative spaces are scheduled for 60 minutes. The person organising the collaborative space can organise the timing flexible and should be able to adapt the session to the number of attendees.



ICED-Talks

Inspired by the renowned TED-Talks format, ICED-Talks offer a vibrant forum for dynamic intellectual exchange. In this session format, distinguished professionals in the field of academic development share their expertise through concise, impactful 10-minute presentations. Each talk is designed to communicate “ideas worth sharing” — whether through innovative concepts, thought-provoking perspectives, or forward-looking educational practices. The format encourages accessibility and engagement, aiming to spark reflection and dialogue among participants.

ICED-Talks are scheduled in 60-minute sessions, featuring four speakers. While slides are welcome, presenters are encouraged to use visual imagery over text to support their storytelling and message.


DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM

ICED26 is pleased to introduce a Doctoral Colloquium for doctoral candidates in the field of academic/educational development.

The Colloquium provides an opportunity for PhD students to present work-in-progress to an international panel of experienced and distinguished researchers, and to receive constructive and supportive feedback on their research focus, theoretical framing, and methodological approach.

The Colloquium will take place as part of the ICED 2026 Conference, during the conference days, and only ON-SITE in Salamanca.

 

Purpose of the Colloquium

  • To offer doctoral researchers the chance to discuss their ongoing research in a supportive academic environment.
  • To receive tailored guidance from international scholars in the field.
  • To help participants refine their research questions, conceptual frameworks, and methodological strategies.

Eligibility
The Colloquium is particularly suited to doctoral students in the later stages of their PhD (generally after the second year), who already have a draft paper or substantive analysis, rather than only a proposal. For those who have just a proposal, the Format “Collaborative Space” can be more appropriate.
The PhD topic has to be aligned with the theme and subthemes of the conference. 

Submission Instructions
Applications should be submitted via EasyChair, as a Paper Session submission.
In the title, clearly include: “To be considered for the DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM”

 

In your submission, please include:

  • Field description that best characterizes your doctoral research.
  • Your research topic and research questions.
  • Research methods you are using. 

Deadline for submissions: 30 November 2025

After Acceptance
Students accepted into the Doctoral Colloquium will be required to deliver a 10-15-minute presentation of their research to fellow PhD candidates. They will receive constructive feedback from peers as well as from Senior Lecturers and Professors.

 

Senior Lecturers and Professors with experience in supervising PhD students, traveling to Salamanca and willing to support the Doctoral Colloquium, please contact us at info@iced26.es.

 

PRE-CONFERENCE

The day before the main conference, on 23 June, will be devoted entirely to the Pre-Conference, a full day of workshop presentations.

The Pre-Conference offers participants the opportunity to submit and lead 3-hour workshops, which differ from the shorter 90-minute workshops held during the main conference. Both formats are focused, practice-oriented learning opportunities designed to develop professional skills in academic development, teaching, leadership, and institutional transformation.

Submission and Registration:
Pre-Conference workshops are submitted through the same platform as other conference contributions.
Participation in the Pre-Conference is offered as an optional add-on session (100 €). When completing the registration form, you will be asked if you wish to participate in the Pre-Conference.

ijad-writing-retreat

Writing Retreat hosted by the International Journal for Academic Development
June 21-22, 2026 – before the ICED conference

The purpose of the retreat is to support scholarly writing about educational development. Participants will work on their own writing and give and receive feedback from a small group of peers and a member of the IJAD editorial team. Writing projects must be focused on educational development, but the genre and audience for these projects is open; there’s no expectation that participants are writing for IJAD. The retreat is open to both new and established scholars and will be facilitated in groups both on-site and online.

Before the retreat begins, each participant is requested to submit a draft (probably just a few pages) of the project that they will work on during the retreat.

During the retreat, each participant will be part of a small writing group of 3-5 writers, facilitated by a member of the IJAD editorial team. Each writing group will meet twice each day of the retreat (Sunday and Monday) for peer feedback and goal setting. The remainder of the time during these two days will be dedicated to writing. Participants can choose to participate in an on-site groups in Salamanca or online groups.

Participants will end the retreat having spent considerable time writing, will have received focused feedback on their evolving project, and will have established a post-retreat writing plan.

For any queries you can mail Prof. Roeland van der Rijst at rrijst@iclon.leidenuniv.nl

Registration for the IJAD Writing Retreat is now closed.

Salamanca            

Salamanca is located in the autonomous community of Castilla y León, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. It is the capital of its province and sits in the scenic region of Campo de Salamanca, within Spain’s Northern Plateau. With a population of approximately 150.000 inhabitants, it is known for its welcoming atmosphere, walkable city centre, and a vibrant blend of tradition and intellectual energy.

Home to the University of Salamanca, founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX of León, the city proudly hosts Spain’s oldest active university and one of the most emblematic institutions of higher learning in Europe. The university was the first in Europe to be granted the official title of “university” by royal decree of Alfonso X the Wise in 1252 and by the licentia ubique docendi recognition of Pope Alexander IV in 1255. Salamanca’s academic prestige gave rise to the saying: “Quod natura non dat, Salmantica non præstat”—“What nature does not give, Salamanca does not lend.”

The city has played a central role in universal intellectual history, with figures such as Antonio de Nebrija, Christopher Columbus, Fernando de Rojas, Francisco de Vitoria and the School of Salamanca, Fray Luis de León, Beatriz Galindo or Miguel de Unamuno, all leaving their mark on its scholarly and cultural landscape.

Recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Salamanca’s architectural and cultural treasures include its Old and New Cathedrals, the Casa de las Conchas, the Plaza Mayor, the Convent of San Esteban, and the iconic Escuelas Mayores. In 2002, it was further honoured as European Capital of Culture, alongside Bruges, highlighting its ongoing contribution to arts, thought, and cultural exchange.

For more information about the city, please visit the Salamanca Tourist Office or consult Salamanca’s Wikipedia page.
