Seminars and Conferences
The Faculty actively engages with the teaching profession, government and industry organisations and the broader community by hosting regular seminars and conferences addressing emerging research findings and community concerns with regards to education. Through our visiting academics program and wide range of networks, we are able to bring speakers of national and international renown to participate in these events.
The Faculty, via the Continuing Professional Education section of QUT, has the resources, networks and expertise to host and manage international conferences. A recent example of major conferences that the CPE unit is managing is the “Beach Safety and the Law Summit 2007” (endorsed by the Law Council of Australia)

The importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in Education has been emphasised in numerous government policies both in Australia and overseas. Schools and universities together with some businesses and industries are promoting and delivering STEM objectives. There are some outstanding examples of how this is being achieved in learning environments. The First International Conference of STEM in Education creates an opportunity for educators and researchers from schools, universities, businesses, industries and other private and public agencies to share and discuss their innovative practices and research initiatives that may advance STEM education.
