WIL25 - Conference
Date: September 22 – 24, 2025. Location: Oslo

Shaping the future landscape of Work-Integrated Learning
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is traditionally seen as an educational and pedagogical approach that involves three key players:
- the student
- the workplace
- the educational institution
Need for a multidimensional perspective
To shape the future landscape of WIL there is a need for a multidimensional perspective that can highlight and discuss conditions, challenges and solutions of knowledge and learning in and for a future working life.
WIL therefore needs to be explored as a transdisciplinary research field that focuses on work-life relations and learning. This raises questions about how work-integrated learning can be developed more broadly, including processes of change linked to knowledge, competence, and skills.
