Programme - 11th European Variety in University Chemistry Education Conference

The frame programme is available both in the form of a document and in graphic form.

From its inception, the EuroVariety conference has focused on the practical aspects of teaching and learning chemistry at the higher education level, with an emphasis on sharing examples of best practices and research in action. Our goal is to inspire one another through discussions of teaching solutions that have been either adopted or rejected for various reasons. The topics cover teaching and learning in both small and large groups, through lectures, tutorials, labs, online platforms, and in the workplace. We are interested in all facets of this process, including first-year students, advanced learners, teachers, and teaching assistants. We aim to explore organizational, technical, and methodological solutions that contribute to high-quality education. We are not afraid to discuss our goals, our future, our own mistakes or competences as well as to address the university's relationship with external stakeholders.

The main strands are outlined below:

  1. Competence based chemistry education (development of employability skills)
  2. Chemistry education for promoting responsibility and sustainability
  3. Practical education: the role, effectiveness and organisation of the students laboratory and industrial placement
  4. Remote teaching and learning
  5. Multimedia, AR, VR and AI in chemistry education
  6. Research based education
  7. Innovations in: content, methods and assessment
  8. Students involvement in Outreach of Chemistry and Science communication
  9. Recognition of Prior Learning and Lifelong Learning in chemistry
  10. Professional Development of University Teaching Staff
  11. Pre-service school teacher training

All of these can be presented, discussed, and debated by conference participants in various formats: single oral presentations, symposia and panel discussions, interactive poster presentations, ICT and lab demonstrations, workshops, and PechaKucha. Detailed descriptions of the different presentation formats can be found in the presenter guidelines.
