The NICE annual Research Symposium aims to bring together Christian education scholars from around Australia and overseas to exchange scholarly research, insights and innovations, in order for our Christian education sector to flourish and grow. The 2026 research symposium will be a full-day, in-person event located at Alphacrucis University College in Sydney on Monday 4 May, 2026.
The field of education faces major complexities felt by institutions globally and schools locally. Challenges are wide-ranging, and the implications for leadership, professional administration, and in terms of educational risks and accountabilities have been enormous.
The 2026 Educating for Hope Research Symposium invites Christian educators, researchers, and scholars to engage deeply with the three interwoven dimensions shaping our calling today: Word, World, and Wisdom.
The focus of this symposium is to draw together researchers, scholars, and academics to share their scholarly work in the field of Christian education, particularly referencing the biblical themes of community, creativity, and critique. The research symposium will include a keynote research address, as well as concurrent (strand-based) research presentations, depending on presenter numbers.
