ELNE Calls for Proposals 24/25

As one of the leaders of the Educational Leadership Network Europe (ELNE), every year OBESSU gathers education professionals, organisations, and institutions to share their knowledge and insights around specific themes.

We are thus thrilled to invite you to submit your proposals for the network’s 2024-2025 calls for proposals and contribute to this year’s theme of Dimensions of Collaborative Leadership – Exploring Together.  Whether it is an event, webinar, practice, or research that deals with collaborative leadership, these calls are open to submissions across Europe, offering the chance to share your work and engage with the whole education community!

Call for Good Practices

ELNE is looking for inspiring Good Practices under the theme ‘School Resilience: Preparing for Change‘. This call focuses on sharing collaborative leadership practices that help schools build resilience, adapt to change, and enhance student outcomes. Selected practices will be featured in the ELNE Journals, which reach a broad audience of education professionals across Europe. The top three submissions will also be invited to present their good practices live at the European Educational Leadership Week (EELW) in March 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for schools and institutions to showcase how collaborative efforts and leadership models are fostering innovation and resilience. 

Call for Research Summaries

ELNE also invites researchers and institutions to submit Research Summaries. The theme of this call is also focused on ‘School Resilience: Preparing for Change,’ with a specific emphasis on the role of collaborative educational leadership in shaping future-ready schools. Selected research summaries will be published in the ELNE Journals, offering researchers the opportunity to share their findings with a European audience of educators, policymakers, and practitioners. This platform allows you to highlight research that bridges practice, research, and policy, contributing actionable insights into the current and future challenges facing education systems.

Call for Webinars & Events

Are you planning an online, hybrid, or in-person event focused on collaborative educational leadership? ELNE has now launched calls for Webinars & Events and wants to hear from you!

As part of the European Education Month, from March 3rd to 31st, 2025, ELNE will showcase a diverse range of webinars and events designed to promote collaborative leadership in education. The topic of the EEM 2025 is: ‘Collaborative Leadership for the Future of Education‘. Accepted submissions will be featured on the ELNE website, giving participants access to ELNE’s extensive network of education stakeholders.ca

  • Online Events: ELNE is calling for proposals for webinars to be featured in the European Education Month 2025. These can include panels, workshops, interviews, and other virtual formats. ELNE will provide a platform, technical support, and promotion, ensuring maximum visibility for the online event.
  • In-Person/Hybrid Events: For those planning in-person or hybrid events during March 2025, ELNE offers a chance to be part of a broader European catalogue. These events could include conferences, workshops, peer learning visits, or other gatherings that focus on collaborative leadership in education. Organisers will benefit from ELNE’s promotion before and after the event, ensuring their work reaches education professionals and policymakers across Europe.
