In recent years, scholars and researchers have devoted considerable attention to research on the development of learning within educational and business settings, as well as the ways in which this learning can be invoked. The various disciplines have much to learn from each other with regard to this topic. The major theme of the conference is thus ‘Developing learning within and across disciplines: Evidence from research and practice’. ELSIN 2011 particularly welcomes submissions on one of the following key issues:

• Development of learning throughout education and professional careers

• Implications of style for teaching and management

• Research on workplace learning

• Individual differences in learning and how to take them into account

• Differentiation and style coaching

• Good practices: putting research into practice

• Methodological issues

• Test development and psychometrics
