Chalmers Conference on Teaching and Learning

KUL

KUL aims to contribute to the quality within the entire educational activity at Chalmers, i.e. undergraduate education, postgraduate education and collaboration, by promoting the collegial conversation about learning and teaching.

Chalmers Conference on Teaching and Learning, also called KUL due to the Swedish acronym, is a conference about all aspects of higher education, including teaching, learning, supervision, educational leadership, and student relations. It was established in 2011 and is held yearly, welcoming all staff and students at Chalmers University of Technology.

KUL2026

This year's KUL 2026 conference will be held on March 18 2026. 

Since Sweden’s largest conference and meeting place for anyone interested in educational development in higher education – NU2026 – will be held 8–10 June 2026 at Chalmers Johanneberg campus, organized by Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg, and others, we encourage everyone who wishes to submit a contribution to such a conference to do so there instead of to KUL.

The KUL conference will have a different format in 2026 than usual, with more focus on workshops around current themes.

If you would like to share your teaching practice or educational development work, make sure to submit a contribution to NU2026 (deadline: 30 November)!
