About the conference

This year Go Higher is celebrating its 25th anniversary! As part of the celebrations, we are hosting the three-day SCUTREA (Standing Committee on University Teaching and Research in the Education of Adults) conference here at the University of Liverpool. 

Save the date: 16th - 18th June 2025

This collaborative conference brings together practitioners, researchers, academics, activists and policy makers from across the globe to focus on research, policy and practice, with innovation in lifelong learning and adult education at its heart. 

Given the challenges facing universities and further education, there has never been a greater need for expert adult education and lifelong learning educators and researchers to come together to celebrate, discuss, and shape the future – a future with adult learners at the core of our practice.
