Conference overview

RAISE is a worldwide network of staff and students in Higher Education who work or have an interest in the research and promotion of student engagement.   

We believe in being inclusive so there are many ways to get involved in RAISE.  Everyone in Higher Education, whatever your role, is welcome! 

​The Aims of RAISE are:
 ​ 

  1. To come together for beneficial scholarly discussion, sharing ideas and creating collaborative projects. 
  1. To involve and work with students in partnership 
  1. To promote and disseminate good practice 
  1. To influence policy and encourage focus and investment in SE 
  1. To create a bank of resources and share this openly 
  1. To facilitate communication among our members 


This is delivered through organising an annual conference and events, running special interest groups, supporting our own journal and other publications, lobbying policy makers and funders and collaborating with other organisations and networks with allied interests. 

This conference provides an opportunity for individuals and organisations to showcase student engagement practice and research from across the Higher Education sector. 

The overarching theme of the conference is Student as Producer, which is an initiative introduced 12 years ago to promote staff and student working together collaboratively. This moves students away from being consumers and passive learners and towards them engaging with their university experience and having a voice in the nature of teaching and learning at university.   

RAISE will allow the sector to come together to reflect on the impact of this movement and what post-pandemic student engagement looks like.  

The conference includes a range of presentations, keynotes, workshops and discussions on a variety of theme surrounding student engagement.
