Call for participation: USQ's World Access to Higher Education Day Symposium
22 October 2018

As part of a new global initiative, the University of Southern Queensland will host a one day symposium that will engage local and national stakeholders in exploring concepts, challenges and opportunities on widening access and participation in higher education. You are invited to make a submission to the USQ’s World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED) symposium. It is crucial that if we are to continue to reduce inequalities in access to higher education in Australia, then a platform for open discussion needs to be started. This one day symposium will bring together individuals from across Australia who are engaging in research and scholarship, or undertaking projects and other initiatives, that are addressing this challenge.

Submission Types: The USQ WAHED Symposium will be an opportunity for engagement. This means we are looking for a diverse range of submission types. You can choose the format that works best for your topic. We have come up with several different format types, but we’re open to other formats too.

If your preferred format is not listed, please get in contact to discuss your ideas: wahed@usq.edu.au You can submit a: • Poster • Lightning talk • Lightning round • Open fishbowl • Full presentation

How to Make a Submission: Submissions are due Monday 22 October 2018.

For further information, including submission form and details on the different submission types, please visit the USQ WAHED website. All submissions and questions should be directed to wahed@usq.edu.au. USQ’s WAHED Symposium will take place on 28th November 2018 at the Toowoomba campus
