Knowledge Exchange Hubs

Knowledge Exchange Hubs is an interactive session designed to shift from passive learning to active participation. The session provides a space for delegates to connect, collaborate, and shape ideas that drive IAFOR forward, with the potential for interdisciplinary research partnerships and publication in IAFOR’s THINK Magazine.

We invite you to share with your peers and with IAFOR:

• What is truly happening in today’s classrooms, workplaces, and research environments?
• Which challenges remain unaddressed, whether experienced by educators, students, or professionals?
• What conversations need to happen more often, and how do they align with (or diverge from) the themes of this conference?

Participants at IICE/IICAH2026 are invited to submit their desired topics for discussion throughout the conference via an open poll and/or upvote discussion ideas that resonate the most with them. The most popular ideas will be selected on the final day for discussion. During the session, participants will engage in rotating group discussions, allowing ideas to evolve organically, effectively forming the base for networking and interdisciplinary research collaborations.

Participants can turn their group conversations into contributions easily with a creative reflection output in the format of their choice using NotebookLM or other AI tools. These tools may be used to turn ideas into a story, so that they can be presented to their peers. Exceptional reflective storytelling emerging from these discussions may be selected for publication in THINK Magazine.

This is more than just a networking session. It is an invitation to contribute to and co-create academic discussions, and a space where your voice matters and where your ideas can influence ongoing conversations within IAFOR and beyond.
