Please join us for the 7th Future Learning Lab /
World Learning Summit
In cooperation with LINQ
Please join us for the 2017 World Learning Summit in Kristiansand, South Norway on June 6th – 10th. 2017. We would love to see you join our growing community. In the coming weeks and months we will present our developing program, and we really believe in next summer´s event.
As promised in June 2016 t the close of the 6th summit, the 7th World Learning Summit promises to be a valuable event for academics, entrepreneurs and education leaders interested in the changing landscape of learning and education. Great speaker and a chance to keep on networking in a small but not too small conference setting.
The event is hosted and convened by the Future Learning Lab international research network.
Conference host is University of Agder in South Norway, in collaboration with the HStar Institute at Stanford University and Open University of the Netherlands through the LINQ conference. We are partnering with the Nordic EdTech Network — now finding its firmer base after several projects. We are partnering with key EdTech stakeholders across the Nordic Region, Europe and in the US. At the 2017 World Learning Summit we will continue our conversation from Stanford in 2015 and South Norway last year, with world class keynotes and parallel workshop tracks for (1) PhD students projects, 2) Scholars in a wide range of academic fields, (3) Corporate/lifelong learning interests, (4) Entrepreneurship and innovations in learning, and 5) data simulations and modeling.
We promise our usual mix of high velocity presentations, probing panels and a lot of time for networking. Join us, and be welcome!
