During the 5th International Conference on Imagination and Education, two hours were set aside to meet specifically with academic researchers (faculty, postdocs, students, and staff) whose work engages with issues of imagination and education. Chaired by Dr. Sean Blenkinsop

2007-Conference

The session began with a review of IRNIE initiatives as they have developed over the previous twelve months. Participants had the opportunity to explore particular projects and themes (including the development of curriculum and pedagogy, the education of marginalized groups, and teacher preparation) in greater detail in smaller groups,with a view to developing new forms of collaboration. The session closed with a discussion of the network's ongoing development, including plans to hold conferences and workshops in various parts of the world.

Subsequently, the 6th International Conference on Imagination and Education was held in Canberra Australia in January 2008. In addition, a further grant was received by the IERG team to facilitate international meetings which are in the planning stages.
