17th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference

The School of Education Postgraduate Research Conference Committee 2026 is delighted to announce the call for abstracts for the 17th annual PGR Conference, taking place in person on campus on Saturday, 23 May 2026, at the Trinity Long Room Hub. We welcome everyone, particularly educational researchers, students, and practitioners, to join. Registration for the conference is required. 

Date: Saturday, 23 May 2026

Venue: Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin (in person)

Theme: The Rhythms of Research

This year’s theme, “The Rhythms of Research,” was thoughtfully suggested by Dr. Erika Piazzoli and inspired by the work of Brigid Mary Costello. It moves beyond linear progression to capture the dynamic interplay of pace, cycles, challenges, and flows in the research journey.

The conference will feature presentations, posters, and lightning talks from doctoral researchers, offering opportunities to learn, network, and engage with diverse perspectives. Topics to be presented include inclusive education, AI in education, teacher diversity and DEIS contexts, arts‑based research, language education, educational philosophy, and mathematics education. 

Registration

Registration is required for all attendees (including presenters and committee members).
