About the conference

Promoting the development of doctoral students and early post-doctoral researchers within a climate of high-level, international scholarly debate

The idea for the first Rogano meeting was born in the year 2010 when Tim Dornan, Cees van der Vleuten and Jeroen van Merrienboer (Maastricht University) discussed how to continue and build on international relationships with other universities. At that year’s meeting of the Association of Medical Education in Europe (AMEE), held in Glasgow, a table was booked at the famous Rogano restaurant in Glasgow (sadly, now closed). Colleagues from the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Canada came together to discuss organising an international collaboration between medical/health professions education research groups. The idea of having a meeting back-to-back with AMEE was proposed and the first Rogano Meeting was organised by the Maastricht team and took place in Vienna, 2011.

The focus of the meeting is to promote the development of doctoral students and early post doctoral researchers within a climate of high-level, international scholarly debate. A key component of the meeting is that doctoral students each present a dilemma they have faced in their doctoral research. They each have 30 minutes ‘on the floor’, with 10 minutes of this given to a brief presentation, following specific guidelines, and the session is then opened to the floor, with a facilitator guiding the discussion and debate aimed at helping the presenter find solutions to their dilemma.

Location & venue

Host City 2023

Glasgow is situated on the west of Scotland by the River Clyde and home to the largest population of any Scottish city.

Glasgow’s city centre is home to beautiful historic buildings such as the Mitchell Library, to several art galleries and museums, to concert halls and Scottish Opera, as well to an abundance of cafes, restaurants and shops.

Glasgow has three universities. The oldest is the University of Glasgow (founded 1451), which has its main campus in the west end; this is the home of the local medical and dental schools and it’s just a short tube-ride from the Rogano venue. Glasgow Caledonian University and the University of Strathclyde are located in the city centre.

Glasgow has played host to many large-scale events, including the 2014 Commonwealth Games and, most recently, the COP26 global conference on climate change, in 2021. Glasgow hosted the international AMEE conference in 2010 and 2015, with the 2020 and 2021 meetings unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.

Rogano 2023 will immediately precede AMEE 2023, when it once again returns to Glasgow.

Conference Venue

The Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons

The Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons (Glasgow) was founded in 1599 . Its members include physicians, surgeons and other healthcare professionals, from 97 countries. The RCPSG building is situated at 232-242 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, right in the centre of the city. Sessions for all delegates will take place in the Peter Lowe Lecture Theatre and there are several well-equipped meeting rooms to accommodate dilemma presentations and workshops.

The Rogano 2023 conference dinner will be held in 1599 at the Royal College, which incorporates various function suites. The venue is a popular choice for corporate events or private functions.
