London Chess Conference – University of Roehampton, Elm Grove Conference Centre

Deadline for Conference Registration: 8th March 2023

We hope to see you there

The London Chess Conference is back in person in 2023

The theme of the conference is Chess and STEM – exploring the ways in which chess relates to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Our 2014 conference, Chess and Mathematics, opened new grounds. This conference extends the scope to cover a vital group of related topics essential to lay the intellectual foundations for life and work in the 21st Century. The public associate chess with higher-order thinking but do not always see the relevance to education. The conference seeks to set out the unique contributions that chess can make to developing children’s thinking skills.

The Conference Experience

Attendees can expect to learn about the latest developments in the teaching of chess and games at school to support educational objectives. Experts from around the world will share best practices on the didactics and pedagogy of games. These valuable insights can be explored further during in-depth seminars and discussions. Some of the leading software and technology projects will be demonstrated. The networking opportunities will allow attendees to meet with new colleagues and develop collaborative projects.
