PCF11: Call for abstracts and proposals
The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) #COL4D and the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, Botswana @BWGovernment, represented by Botswana Open University (BOU) @BotswanaOpenUni, will co-host the Eleventh Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF11) in Gaborone, Botswana, from 10 to 12 September 2025 at the Gaborone International Convention Centre.
Academics, researchers, technology innovators, development practitioners, administrators, stakeholders and partner institutions are invited to submit abstracts and proposals.
Deadlines:
- Last date for submission of Abstracts and Proposals: 30 January 2025
- Notification of proposal approval: 1 March 2025
About the Pan-Commonwealth Forum
The Forum takes place every three years and is considered one of the world’s leading international conferences on open and distance learning.
The theme of PCF11 is Innovative Open Education: Fostering Resilient Societies for Sustainable Economic Development.
The event will continue to provide the rich in-person experience that delegates have come to expect while also allowing virtual attendees to access a mix of live, on-demand, and interactive content.
To ensure the Forum is accessible to as many delegates as possible, this will be a hybrid event.
The submission and review process will be managed through the Easy Chair platform. Please create your account here easychair.org/account2/signi… and then submit your proposal. Only authors of accepted abstracts/proposals will receive the link for submission of full papers.
