High profile keynote speakers from the UK, USA and Australia will address delegates at the JISC Internet Plagiarism Advisory Service's 3rd International Plagiarism Conference, which will be held 23 - 25 June 2008 at City Campus East, Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.

The 3rd International Plagiarism Conference, which is being managed by Northumbria Learning, examines the challenges facing institutions as they evolve solutions to the issue of ensuring authenticity in learners' work in a changing information environment. The conference will seek to consider best practice from secondary through to higher education. The need for a cross-sectoral approach is reflected in the joint sponsorship of the conference by Ofqual* and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC).

Key themes for the conference will consider ethical use of digital sources, approaches to engaging both learners and educators in the process of addressing plagiarism, addressing plagiarism in web 2.0 and emerging technologies and also subject specific perspectives on the issue.

The conference venue, is the stunning new Northumbria University City Campus East development. Opened in September 2007, it was recently honoured as the Journal newspaper's North East Landmark of the Year, and has also been praised for exceeding the requirements of new UK green building legislation. The development currently houses the Schools of Law, Design and the Newcastle Business School. The Campus is easily accessible by public transport and is within walking distance of the city centre.

Places at the conference are limited to 200, so delegates are advised to register early.
