The Horizons in STEM higher education conference 2024 was held at the University of Bristol. Please scroll down for the detailed programme and conference proceedings.
Information about the keynote speakers from the 2024 conference, including recordings and slides from their presentations can be found here.
We are proposing to publish papers based on presentations at the conference in the Society for Natural Science’s New Directions in the Teaching of Natural Sciences e-journal. Papers will be considered from any STEM discipline and all speakers are invited to contribute papers based on their presentations or posters after the conference. Papers for the journal are published online once accepted. Authors should add a note to the paper that it was presented at the conference if they wish this to appear in the published version. Papers can be submitted at any time after the conference, but to appear in the annual volume for 2024 (published in early 2025) the closing date for submissions of full conference papers is December 20th, 2024.
