25 June 2025, The Spark
Join us at the Solent Learning, Teaching, and Research (SLTR) Conference in the Spark at our East Park Terrace campus for a day of practice-sharing, discussions, and inspiration centred around 'Advancing Learning, Teaching and Research in the Digital Age’.
Modern technologies such as Generative AI are transforming higher education and have brought rapid changes to the experiences of students and staff in higher education. This conference allows an active community of educators, researchers, experts, visitors and students to explore the potential benefits, challenges, and implications of integrating these AI tools into higher education.

Quality education lies at the heart of inclusive education and sustainable development. At the SLTR Conference, we will explore how Solent is building a learning, teaching, and research community that is driven by these values and works to be a part of building the learners, teachers, and researchers of tomorrow.
Join us in shaping an inclusive future with AI-driven knowledge exchange, collaborative innovation, and a community dedicated to advancing quality education at Solent.
