Call for papers – A4A Conference

Participants are invited to hand in up to two abstracts for papers or posters. All proposals must be sent to inclusion@unibg.it. Abstracts can be related to scientific research and/or good practices on the field of the Conference Topic.

The conference, that will take place September 27^th in Bergamo, will help participants evaluate institutional policies and good practices developed by HE organisations in Europe to foster the educational and social inclusion of under-represented groups as well as of non-traditional learners. The conference pursues four specific objectives:

- to establish a map of the institutional policies for attending to underrepresented groups in relation to academic access and success
- to establish guidelines to be implemented by HE organisations to promote initiatives aimed to encourage the access and successful development of students who are under-represented in universities
- to co-create strategies and measures promoting the access, continuation (and success) of vulnerable students and non-traditional learners at university
- to create a laboratory for the creation of innovative and flexible strategies in order to promote the commitment of Higher Education institutions to the most vulnerable student groups.

Through international comparison and case analysis provided by researchers and experts from six European countries, the conference will address one of the important features of the Erasmus+ programme: “Promoting equity and inclusion by facilitating the access to learners with disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities compared to their peers”.
