• Enhance the exchange of knowledge and act as a venue for greater networking with the academic and research community, and create and promote greater visibility for LTERC
• Enable researchers and visiting scholarsat the forefront of their study areas to present fact-driven, research-based findings on relevant and active issues and ideas.
• Provide a forum for colleagues and students to get exposed to and learn more about current research activities in their respective fields.
• Engage in active discussion about currentcircumstances of and what the future holds for dynamic and important learning and teaching issues, and help identify new directions for potential research agendas pertinent to LTERC.

Where possible, presentations have been recorded and are made available to view as media-streams.
