IAACS Conference June 2025

1. The International Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies (IAACS) is established to support a worldwide field of curriculum studies. The conference, which occurs every four years, attracts a diverse international crowd of scholars and researchers from every continent in the field of curriculum studies to present their findings and discuss improvements over a period of three to four days.

2. The objectives of the Conference are to:

(i) Offer a platform for researchers to disseminate the findings of their study and thus contribute to the discourse, understanding and practices in the field of curriculum studies in general, and Higher Education, in particular;
(ii) Advance curricular practices that are supportive of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in terms of quality of education and achievement of social justice;
(iii) Promote comparative perspectives in curriculum studies and enhance creative responses to contextual issues; and
(iv) Encourage networking across organizations to promote dialogue among practitioners and researchers.
