The International Conference on Learning is hosted each year with a leading institution. Recent editions include Utrecht University (Netherlands, 2024) and the University of Granada (Spain, 2025), continuing a global itinerary that has traversed Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania since the Network’s earliest years. Each gathering sets a Special Focus that links research and practice in contemporary learning.
The Learner Journal Collection advances research across pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, and higher education.
The Learner Book Imprint publishes monographs and edited collections that translate learning research into frameworks for teaching, curriculum design, assessment practice, institutional development, and policy innovation.
The Network extends through CGScholar, a digital ecosystem supporting member engagement. Scholars and practitioners share profiles, papers, and projects year-round—connecting conference presentations, journal and book publications, in one integrated research environment.
The Network is chaired by Professors William (Bill) Cope and Mary Kalantzis, leading voices in pedagogy, literacy, and learning design whose work links equity-centered practice with evidence and digital innovation—foundational to the Network’s mission. Spanish-language Chair: Professor José Luis Ortega Martín (University of Granada, Spain), whose focus on bilingual education, teacher development, and assessment extends the Network’s programs across Spanish-speaking communities.
