UGU Conference 2024

It is time for UGU's first conference! The conference is especially aimed at those who have used UGU data, have experienced working with longitudinal data or have an interest in quantitative studies in education. By presenting current research with UGU data, the conference highlights the possibilities of our study and longitudinal design. There is no admission-cost for the conference.

Date: 27-28 november 2024
Time: 27 november, 10-18.00
28 november 9-16.30
Place: AK2 Stukat (Pedagogen, A-Huset), Västra Hamngatan 25, 411 17 Göteborg

The UGU conference at Pedagogen at the University of Gothenburg brings together researchers from different disciplines with experience of longitudinal studies to discuss current projects in educational research. Our first conference will have a special focus on research results and opportunities with longitudinal survey data in education. For 63 years, our organisation has studied data from students, their teachers and guardians to map children's well-being, performance, motivation and belonging during their schooling.

Our study currently consists of 11 birth cohorts between 1948-2010. Each cohort consists of approximately 10,000 students, their guardians and teachers who take part in our surveys. Researchers with backgrounds in education, psychology, economics and political science use our data to study developments in Swedish schools and the labour market.

We will be visited by keynote speakers, panelists, researchers and PhD students who will present their studies. You can register by applying through this link.
