RIFT Laboratory International Symposium, 25th Anniversary – Strengthening the Links Between Research and Education: Challenges, Stakeholders, and Methods

September 7–9, 2026, University of Geneva, Geneva

To mark its 25th anniversary, the RIFT (Research, Intervention, Training, Work) laboratory is organizing an international conference in French designed to explore the relationships between research, training, and work.

The conference aims to serve as a meeting point not only for researchers engaged in the field of adult education, but also for practitioners with an interest in research methodologies, as well as decision-makers and partners involved in these fields.

The conference invites submissions in the form of oral presentations, thematic symposia, workshops, and presentations of work in progress, organized around three possible thematic areas:

Theme 1: Current Issues and Challenges in Adult Education

Theme 2: Collaboration and Partnerships in Education

Theme 3: Research and Intervention Methodologies in Education

Deadline for submitting presentation proposals: December 15, 2025
