Conference Vision

Like the city of Barcelona, the EDEN conferences treasure their traditions whilst they also welcome and advocate modern solutions, innovation and creativity. The high quality content, insightful and inspirational keynote speeches, recognition of excellence by the Best Research Paper Award http://www.eden-online.org/publications/best-research-papers.html will continue to be cornerstones of the conference in 2015.

http://youtu.be/giRswAO2ERM By way of contrast, capitalising on the encouraging participant feedback from EDEN*RW8* http://www.eden-online.org/2014_oxford.html, the *new, more interactive and engaging session formats* - like the speed-dating, homegroups and fishbowl - will feature in the programme, and delegates will be able to enjoy an improved *Synergy Strand http://www.eden-online.org/2015_barcelona/call-for-contributions.html#Synergy-strand*. EDEN also aims to reach out to a new generation of educators, and will achieve this by offering *support to young scholars* http://www.eden-online.org/2015_barcelona/call-for-contributions.html#young-scholars in 2015 to facilitate their participation in the conference.

Follow and use our #EDEN15 hashtag and prepare to join the Community face to face in the inspiring city of Barcelona!
