Special Interest Groups

About

EARLI has Special Interest Groups representing researchers who study one or more parts and/or aspects of the field of Learning and Instruction. One of the main aims of EARLI is to encourage communication between researchers through Special Interest Groups.

The SIGs support activities such as meetings, newsletters and publications and they give substance to the conference themes of the biennial EARLI conferences. Each SIG has two coordinators.

You can access the individual pages for SIGs which give details of their coordinators and forthcoming events by clicking their title.

A coordinator of a Special Interest Group, is an important liaison between the members of
the SIG, the EARLI Executive Committee and the EARLI office. Being a SIG coordinator
involves responsibilities with regard to the organisation of SIG activities such as seminars,
newsletters and other publications. Together with your colleague SIG coordinator you are the
communication link to the EARLI organisation.

In order to inform you of the possibilities, regulations, tasks and 'habits' with regard to the SIGs, we made these guidelines. It is, however, important to keep in mind that you should never hesitate to contact the EARLI office (earli@ped.kuleuven.be) or the EC-member holding the portfolio of the SIGs (Sari.Lindblom-Ylanne@helsinki.fi) with any questions.'
