Peter Fagerström, Educraftor CEO

Entrepreneurship and research combined
Key updates of the WLS 2019 program forthcoming: We are extremely happy to announce this workshop on global learning entrepreneurship: Finnish company Educraftor will be hosting a session on their global intiatives and networking to forge new learning models and approaches, based on recent work in Singapore, Vietnam, Northern Europe and USA. The workshop will be run by founder and CEO Peter Fagerström, who joined up with us at the Future Leaening Lab for our Oslo Roundtable in 2018 and then at WLS 2018, in the fall.

We are equally happy to announce confirmation that Cathy Casserly will also be joining our PhD Colloquium team, in addition to keynoting in the open plenary of the summit. As of today, WLS 2019 offers a unique opportunity for PhD students to present and publish papers in a meriting Summit publication, with a WLS recommendation of 5 ECTS credits to be awarded by their home institution upon submission of request. WLS does not offer credits, but our PhD colloquium provides PhD students with a separate course workshop space where international speakers from the Summit will be brought in to listen, comment, and give advise.

Are you a PhD student interested in presenting?

Call for scientific papers

By Leave a Comment

broadbookCourtesy of our new collaboration with the Linq conference (their last one was in 2015), we are as of 2017 extending a full call for scientific papers. Please review the information on this link.

World Learning Summit is committed to providing new features and opportunities every year. This year we have placed a particular emphasis on providing a means for researchers to receive credit and citations from their work. Our call has gone out worldwide and we will work hard to make this a worthwhile research presentation arena.

Our standard for Scientific papers will be high. An international panel of highly accomplished peer reviewers are in place. Each selected paper will receive ample time for presentation and a featured spot in our newly established WLS Proceedings. We are indexed where it matters.

The general call for research papers has been divided into three categories, all of which will be part of the Summit Academic Track:

  1. Scientific papers will be reviewed as complete papers, accepted for publication. Presenters are eligible for discounts.
  2. PhD papers will be reviewed as papers in progress, and does not require publication of full papers in our own publications. Rather, the intention is to provide PhD students from around the world to benefit from our review panel, planned opposition and the publication in our Summit Proceedings of PhD papers as extended abstracts. More information on this link. Presenters are eligible for discounts.
  3. Projects presentations will be organized as sessions centered on “papers in progress” and projects on their way. For this slot, please see our template on this link.
