The conference will include opportunities for the presentation of individual papers, round table, mini keynote and poster and pitch presentations. We invite you to submit proposals for this conference in the context of higher education assessment. The suitability of submissions will be decided by an anonymous peer review process. We look forward to another exciting conference and value the time you will spend on your submission; we look forward to reading about your work.

- The extent to which they build on and critically engage with existing research in field;
- Quality of research/ investigation.
Round Table Presentation
Relevance to the conference (whilst presenters are encouraged to report on work in a specific subject discipline, their work should clearly identify points of interest and implications for those working in other subject disciplines/fields of study)

There will be a prize for the best conference poster. The judges’ decisions are final and will be based on the following criteria:
