BERA System Updates
We will be conducting a system update over the bank holiday. The website will still be live and you will be able to view most pages, however unfortunately you will not be able to log into the website for access to certain webpages. The log in access to the website will be reactivated on the 7th June 2022.
The deadline for proposals have therefore been extended until the 13th June 2022.
Hot topic proposals
We have developed the opportunity to put forward a ‘Hot Topic’ session at the Annual Conference that was not submitted through the usual abstract system. Abstract cannot be re-submitted if it was rejected in the regular submission process.
This session is meant to highlight topical research that may have been developed after the usual abstract submission system.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Supporting child refugees and migrants in UK education (this would include the implications of the war in Ukraine
- Post-Covid recovery
- Digitalisation
- Education: State of the Discipline
- The future of academic conferences
- Environmental sustainability
These proposals will be reviewed by the Conference & Events Committee on the following criteria:
- Relevance of the topic to the promotion of educational research
- Clarity of research question(s) and/or focus of enquiry
- Quality of the research (potential research)
- Significance for educational practice, policy or theory
- Topicality
The number accepted is based on the availability on the programme. These will be given either a 1 or 1.5 hour slot which will be determined by the Conference & Events Committee.
The main submitter must be a BERA Member. If accepted all presenting authors will need to register at the current registration rates.

The deadline for submissions is 13th June 2022.
