Innovation in Education Week

See you in 2027!

Innovation in Education Week highlights and celebrates educational research and innovations among UVA faculty, staff, fellows, residents, postdocs, graduate students, and medical students. This dedicated week to education in academic medicine seeks to increase interest in scholarship and innovations in teaching and learning more broadly, provide professional development and networking opportunities, and connect the UVA community with internationally known educational researchers.
