About

This year, our annual Learning and Teaching Festival will take place at The Old Brewery Hall on Wednesday, 24 June 2026. Scholarship Excellence in Business Education invites colleagues in Greenwich Business School and its partners to share pedagogic research findings and inspiring practices in learning and teaching under this year’s theme:

Reimagining Higher Education through the Lenses of Paradox, Curiosity and Regeneration.

Higher Education stands at a critical moment. Rapid technological advances, shifting societal expectations, environmental challenges, and global uncertainty are reshaping the educational landscape. This year’s festival invites us to pause, reflect and reimagine not only what we teach, but how we teach, learn, lead, and collaborate.

In one overarching event, we will host two World Café sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, bringing together educators, researchers and leaders to explore our theme through three interconnected lenses: Paradox, Curiosity and Regeneration.

Expect thought-provoking keynote provocations, engaging World Café conversations, creative collaboration, and shared reflection. Participants will leave with new connections, fresh ideas and a set of collective actions to carry forward.

The festival will be followed by informal drinks and networking at The Old Brewery. All are welcome to attend the full day or a single session.
