LTSE 2026 theme: Future-Facing Education
We invite business and management educators to explore how teaching, curricula, and learning environments are evolving to prepare students for an uncertain and rapidly changing world.
Future-Facing Education encourages contributors to consider how business schools can anticipate, respond to, and shape the future of higher education.
Submissions may focus on topics such as digital transformation, sustainability, interdisciplinarity, inclusivity, artificial intelligence, and employability; or interpret the theme in other creative ways.
Interpreting 'Future-Facing Education' in your own way:
To inspire reflection and creativity, this year’s call for submissions is shaped around a set of provocations.
These provocations are open, forward-looking questions that invite you to interpret Future-Facing Education in your own way.
Each provocation encourages you to share ideas, research and practice that explore how business schools can innovate, adapt and thrive in a changing world.
Your submission should engage with the overarching theme of Future-Facing Education. You may choose to align with one or more of the conference provocations, but this is not a requirement.
Provocations include:
Responding to shifting student demographics and expectations

How are educators redesigning programmes to prepare graduates for futures and careers we cannot yet imagine?
