The researchers in UCPBL participates in many international conferences and has had a high number of invited keynotes and workshops at conferences all over the world. As well as focusing on specific journals, we focus on especially two types of conferences:

  1. The engineering education conferences such as International Research Symposia on PBL in Engineering and Science, European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and
  2. Education for Sustainable Development such as the European Roundtable of Sustainable and Cleaner Production (ERSCP) and the Engineering Education for Sustainable development (EESD) conferences.

Additionally, the research group has a range of international staff development programmes – ranging from a Master in Problem-based Learning in Engineering & Science (MPBL), to institutional targeted excellence and certification programmes and visitor workshops. Furthermore, UCPBL is engaged in outreach activities as the regional network for STEM education as well as regional and international conferences in STEM education.
