**Conference programme “Out of the comfort zone”**
The programme is designed to appeal to all with an interest in LIS research and based in the UK, including PhD students, established practitioners and academics, as well as the wider LIS research community, such as publishers.
Taking “Out of the comfort zone” as its main theme, the exciting schedule includes sessions that cover: the DREaM project itself; the trajectory of LIS research; research collaborations across disciplines; research approaches, methods and techniques; research dissemination (including working with the media); public engagement with research; and the building of a research network for LIS researchers in the UK.
The conference format includes keynote presentations and break-out sessions, with further opportunities for delegates to participate actively in the discussions on the day.
