SIDU 2027: the changing role of university teaching

SIDU 2027 brings university lecturers and education researchers together around a question: what should a teacher’s role be in a changing society? The 11th international symposium focuses on professional identity and a humanistic approach to teaching. It is an opportunity to discuss everyday work with students alongside colleagues from other universities.

What will be discussed

The announced themes include wellbeing for teachers and students, new technologies and ways of thinking, innovative teaching methods, assessment, ethics and university management. Academic presentations and the exchange of practical experience take the discussion beyond digital tools alone.

The symposium is held with Asociación Iberoamericana de la Docencia Universitaria and marks the 35th anniversary of Universidad La Salle Cancún. Presenters should follow the separate submission rules, while attendees need the appropriate registration category.

Dates and campus

The main programme takes place on 17–19 March 2027 at Universidad La Salle Cancún. The address is carretera Cancún–Playa del Carmen KM 11.5, Mz. 1 Lt. 1 Sm 299, Cancún. This is a university campus, separate from Cancún Center and hotels in the Zona Hotelera.

Arranging your journeys

If you arrive at CUN, check whether airport transport is already included in your hotel booking. You can discuss any additional airport journey or shared trips with colleagues on symposium days separately.
