Dear members of the REEN community,
We regret to inform you that, due to unforeseen communication and logistical challenges, the symposium scheduled for January 2025 in El Paso, Texas, has been canceled.
This decision to cancel REES 2025 was not made lightly, as we understand the significant effort and dedication authors put into preparing for a conference. The Research in Engineering Education Network (REEN) vision is “to establish and maintain an independent, international, vibrant and inclusive community that supports, discusses, and disseminates scholarly research on Engineering Education”. The community is intended to nurture new and veteran researchers through collaboration and sound methodological approaches to influence policy at all levels and teaching practices around the globe.” Part of fulfilling our vision has been focused on providing the Research in Engineering Education Symposium (REES) as a space where researchers from all over the world not only share their research but also build community and international collaborations in a safe, inclusive, and amicable environment.
This year, there were several factors that influenced our ability to provide this collaborative and supportive EER space to deliver the high-quality experience that we and our members expect and deserve. We deeply apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this decision may cause, and ask for your understanding and patience as we navigate this situation. We are committed to addressing the issues that led to this cancellation and preventing such occurrences in the future.
Currently, we are working on a plan to host a virtual meeting in early 2025 to gather as a community and provide authors with alternative options for sharing their work. We will provide additional information regarding these options soon, giving authors clear deadlines and time to prepare for this meeting.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact info@reen.co. You are also welcome to contact any member of the REEN board at any time.
Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for canceling REES 2025 in El Paso.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Best regards,
The REEN board
