NRDC’s annual international research conference brings together researchers, developers, policy makers and practitioners in the field of post-16 literacy, language and numeracy.

The theme of this year’s conference is how best we can learn from research evidence, developing good and innovative practice emerging in different countries across the world. Adult literacy, numeracy and English for Speakers of other languages (and other second language learning) are important issues across the world, north and south. There are high aspirations for universal literacy and numeracy and access to the knowledge and skills people need to learn and practice in their lives and workplaces.

Further information including booking details will be available over the coming weeks at www.nrdc.org.uk.
