Notes for proposal submission for the ASE Annual Conference 2016
University of Birmingham 6-9 January 2016
Show off a great demonstration, trial a new lesson plan or host a workshop.
In January 2016, the ASE Annual Conference will be returning to the University of Birmingham. For the conference, we build up a programme of over 300 CPD sessions, so we are keen to receive proposals from all involved in science education, from Early Years to A-level, both ASE members and non-members:
- Share ideas and practical activities from your classroom.
- Showcase a new resource
- Provide updates on subject knowledge
- Present research approaches and findings
- Examine assessment
- Launch an initiative or new programme
Everyone is welcome to submit a session idea. If you have an interest in science education and have something to share, then we’d love to hear from you.
If you would like to submit more than one session proposal, simply fill in this survey form again at the end. You will be given the opportunity to update your session details before the conference programme is published but please now include the title, outline and lead speaker/organisation so that your session can be reviewed by the ASE committees.
Deadline for proposal submissions – Friday 29 May
Notes for proposal submissions
Expenses - The conference continues to provide a high quality programme at very low cost because of the generosity of the presenters. The ASE is unable to pay fees, travelling and accommodation expenses. All presenters are entitled to one free day’s registration for their contribution to the programme.
Type of session While you can change the details of your session after the deadline please state now the type of room you need for your session. There is a choice in the form of lab, seminar room, PC suite or tiered lecture theatre.
Audio-visual (AV) Equipment, Computers and Science Apparatus - You are asked to detail required audio-visual equipment when submitting your proposal. Most seminar rooms are fitted with data projectors but you may need to provide your own laptop. Please give your full lab requirements in this proposal submission. There will be the opportunity to update your requested AV / lab equipment but the more details you can give us early on the easier it is to make sure we allocate you the correct room.
Health and Safety - All presenters are reminded of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. All contributors have a responsibility to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of visitors to the Conference. The conference team should be informed of any proposed session which involves the use of children, animals, ionising radiations or explosives. Proposers of practical sessions will have to declare that they have carried out risk assessments by submitting the Risk Assessment Form.
Proposals will be accepted at the discretion of the ASE and only if they comply fully with the criteria - Please see full notes
