The AERA Education Research Conferences Program invites proposals for conferences that advance education research studies of the highest quality. The fall cycle of submissions is due September 13.

The program’s purpose is to foster the accumulation of knowledge, to enhance dissemination, and to encourage innovation. AERA supports conferences intended to break new ground in substantive areas of inquiry, stimulate new lines of study on issues that have been largely unexplored, or develop innovative research methods or techniques that can contribute more generally to education research.

AERA research conferences may focus on conceptual, empirical, or methodological issues important to understanding the state of the knowledge and charting directions for future research. They draw on diverse disciplines and fields of inquiry where there is relevant scientific and scholarly expertise.

The call for proposals details proposal application procedures.
