Background

Call for proposals

Thursday, 6 August, 2026 - 15:57

Submit your ideas for next year's ANGEL Webinar Series.

The Academic Network on Global Education and Learning is calling on its stakeholders and members to submit ideas for webinars that will be organised by ANGEL during the 2026/27 academic year, as part of the established ANGEL Webinar Series and the newly founded ANGEL Research to Policy Webinar Series.


 

Previous years have seen a wide range of different events happen under the Webinar Series banner, including sessions that simply examine a single exciting piece of research by an individual researcher, sessions that have multiple presenters talking about a large project, or even sessions with short presentations from a range of academics on a particular topic or geographical region. We have held events in various languages, including with simultaneous interpretation. The ANGEL Research to Policy Webinar Series, launched in 2026 in partnership with Global Education Network Europe (GENE), aims to strengthen the connection between research and policy in global education.

You can see the webpages for the most recent series' below, or visit our YouTube channel to see videos of almost all of these events. Please note that the event recordings generally are edited to omit the discussion or workshop session that normally follows any presentation.

 

Submitting your proposal

We are asking ANGEL stakeholders to send in ideas for online sessions that could form part of the next Webinar Series and Research to Policy Webinar Series. You will need to submit via our short online form, supplying a proposed title, a session description, and define the intended audience

We are interested in all aspects of Global Education, as defined in the 'Dublin Declaration' as "education that enables people to reflect critically on the world and their place in it; to open their eyes, hearts and minds to the reality of the world at local and global level. It empowers people to understand, imagine, hope and act to bring about a world of social and climate justice, peace, solidarity, equity and equality, planetary sustainability, and international understanding. It involves respect for human rights and diversity, inclusion, and a decent life for all, now and into the future". 

Please note that priority will go to submissions from paid ANGEL members. You can find out about membership here.

Previous events have been between 75-120 minutes (normally 90), depending on the number of inputs.

 

Deadlines

Please submit your initial proposal by the end of business on 20th September. You can consider this a draft proposal, and should the topic be deemed suitable, there will be time to develop the event further, including for example adding another speaker or respondent if required.
