About TEMC

If you work in the tertiary education sector, then this is the conference for you.  TEMC brings together participants from the broad range of specialities across Australia and New Zealand and beyond.  It is designed to enable networking and connection to industry trends, innovative practice and thought leadership.  TEMC has a strong practitioner focus, with a rich mix of keynote speakers, panels, presentations, workshops and so much more.  Critically, it allows participants to reflect on their management practice in a regional, national and global context.

The conference is organised in partnership by the Association for Tertiary Education Management (ATEM) and the Tertiary Education Facilities Management Association (TEFMA). Each year it attracts a large number of attendees from higher education and TAFE institutes, Polytechnics, Wananga, government departments, private providers and similar organisations.  Pre-COVID nearly 1000 people would attend each year.

TEMC travels around Australia and New Zealand, moving to a new city each year.  For each conference a local organising committee leads the design of the conference ensuring the showcasing of the sector in that region.

Refereed Papers

The Tertiary Education Management conference often features practitioner research that could be recognised formally as part of an institution’s research output. To help authors gain academic recognition for their research, TEMC accepts proposal for refereed papers to be included in the program. Refereed papers should be based on scholarship and empiricism. The independent review process for these papers is separate from the selection of presenters in other conference streams.

TEMC papers are archived by the National Library of Australia, and can be accessed at: http://pandora.nla.gov.au/tep/10533

To submit a paper for the refereed stream, please contact the organising committee.
