The 16th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference brought together a diverse and passionate community of researchers, educators, and practitioners under the unifying theme of "Relationships".

Across keynote talks, presentations, workshops, and lightning sessions, participants explored how relationships shape and sustain educational experiences, from the bonds between teachers and students, to collaborative research practices, to the social and emotional foundations of learning. Projects touched on early childhood attachment, inclusive teaching, creative expression, technological engagement, and intercultural dialogue, all emphasising how relational thinking can transform education.

The conference served not only as a platform for sharing scholarship but also as a space for building new academic and professional connections. We are deeply grateful to all who presented, attended, and contributed to the vibrancy of the day.

As we look forward to continuing this journey, we carry with us the central message of the conference: that relationship is not a backdrop to education, but its very foundation.
