WIL25 - Conference

WIL25 is the third international research conference on work-integrated learning. The conference will offer an atmosphere for co-creating the future generation of WIL research and practice. 
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.
