27 April - 1 May 2026
The International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK) is the premier research forum in the field of learning analytics, providing common ground for all stakeholders in the design of analytics systems to debate the state of the art at the intersection of Learning and Analytics — including researchers, educators, instructional designers, data scientists, software developers, institutional leaders and governmental policy makers.
The 16th annual conference, LAK26, is organised by SLATE (University of Bergen) in collaboration with the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR). SoLAR is an inter-disciplinary network of leading international researchers who are exploring the role and impact of the use of data and analytics on teaching, learning, training and development.
