EFL Showcase - 8th-9th September

EFL stands for Enhancing Fieldwork Learning in this event. 


The EFL project team coordinates an annual Showcase event that brings together fieldwork educators from a range to disciplines to share innovations in field teaching and learning with a particular focus on the use of technology.

I last attended and spoke some years ago, talking about our work on Mission:Explore.

The 16th Enhancing Fieldwork Learning Showcase will focus on the theme of ‘Bridging the Divide’. 

The free Showcase Event will be held on 8-9th September 2026. 

The hybrid event will be in-person at the University of Southampton and broadcast online.

"We are pleased to confirm two Keynote speakers – Dr Nicholas Worsfold (Brunel University) and Alan Parkinson (King’s Ely Prep School / Royal Geographical Society) – who will speak about their experiences of bridging the divide from school to HE in addition to reflecting on how AI can be used most effectively in bridging digital and real world learning." 

There will also be opportunities to trial innovative survey and field sensing technologies with Environmental Sensing @ Southampton: https://esas.soton.ac.uk/.

The provisional programme is now available: EFL-Showcase-2026-programme-v3
