ESERA 2025 Conference
THE 16TH CONFERENCE OF THE EUROPEAN SCIENCE EDUCATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION
25-29 August 2025, Copenhagen, Denmark
JOIN THE NEW ESERA PRELUDE 21-24 AUGUST 2025
The 16th Conference of The European Science Education Research Association
Join us at ESERA Conference 2025 in Copenhagen: Embracing Transitions in Science Education.
Experience the forefront of science education at the ESERA Conference 2025 from August 25th to August 29th in the vibrant city of Copenhagen, Denmark. Under the theme Transitions in Science Education: Sustainability and Digital Advances, this conference promises to ignite innovation, collaboration, and transformation in science education.
Our theme: We live in an era of transitions and transformations, both digitally and environmentally. But into what is society, and by extension science education, transitioning? How do we design, implement, and evaluate our transformative efforts? How will societal changes affect education, teaching, and learning, and how may education, teaching, and learning, in turn, impact societal changes?
At ESERA 2025, we invite our community to reflect on these questions. Our vision is to facilitate a flow of ideas between participants at and from the conference to later times.
Our city: With its blend of historic charm and a modern focus on sustainability, Copenhagen provides an ideal backdrop for our conference. Easy to get to and easily navigable by foot, bike, or public transport, the city has much to offer both intellectually and culturally.
Our venue: Located in the heart of the city centre, Øksnehallen sets the stage for an unforgettable conference experience. This historic venue combines modern amenities with industrial charm, providing a unique and inspiring environment for collaboration and learning. With state-of-the-art facilities and convenient access to accommodations, restaurants, and attractions, Øksnehallen offers the perfect setting for engaging discussions and networking opportunities.
Save the Date: Mark your calendars for August 25th to August 29th, 2025, and join us in Copenhagen for a stimulating and enriching conference experience. Stay tuned for further updates on registration, program details, and keynote speakers.
We look forward to welcoming you to Copenhagen for the ESERA Conference 2025!
ESERA 2025 in Copenhagen
Imagine Kim, a science education researcher, who has just arrived at Copenhagen Central Station by train. As they make their way to the venue, they meet with other researchers heading to ESERA this year. They ask a passer-by for directions. The venue is just down the street, merely a five-minute walk away. The opening ceremony is interactive, and the presenting scientist and the science education researcher place the activity in a broader context through dialogue. Afterwards, lively conversations break out, where colleagues from around the world share thoughts and ideas. Several parallel sessions later, Kim and a couple of colleagues drift out to the awaiting city to discuss further and enjoy good food and drink. One was at the pre-conference, where they observed science teaching in an innovative school setting. Another is looking forward to the new presentation events on Thursday. Have people signed up for the morning run around the harbour area? After dinner, everybody finds their hotels – all of which are conveniently located nearby. This is good, as tomorrow they have presentations!

§ Exploratory seminars
An exploratory seminar poses a question or dilemma to be discussed during the 45-minute session and aims to open dialogues about research possibilities, innovative research areas, and creative research ideas.
The purpose of an exploratory seminar may, for example, be to initiate research collaborations, test new research questions, methods, analyses, perspectives, and data material, or to investigate opportunities to arrange further seminars and conferences, write applications and apply for funding, etc.
The exploratory seminar thus serves as a structured networking forum around a theme, and the proposers can organize the session according to various models. The proposer will be the chair.
A proposal for an exploratory seminar must include a description and problematization of the question or dilemma the seminar will focus on, together with the purpose of initiating the seminar and some expected outcomes.
You can find more details in our call for proposals.
Technical submission guidelines Update
Following our review, we offer guidance to ensure submissions meet peer-review criteria.
