Dr Thomas Lancaster
Senior Teaching Fellow,
Imperial College London, United Kingdom
Thomas Lancaster has researched issues surrounding academic integrity since 2000. He currently teaches at Imperial College London in the UK and regularly speaks at international academic integrity events. He is best known for research into contract cheating, a term he developed with the late Robert Clarke to describe the phenomenon where students utilise third parties to complete their academic work for them. Much of Thomas’ recent research has been conducted alongside undergraduate student partners, looking at the increasing reach of the international contract cheating industry and the operation of the essay mills, providers and individuals who help students to breach academic integrity.

About Host City
With year-round sun and a dramatic combination of both the desert and beach, Dubai is the perfect setting to be swept away by high-adrenaline activities. Rocket across the Arabian Gulf in a speedboat or roar along the circuit in a race car, skydive over Palm Jumeirah, ski around the World Islands, paddleboard along the coast or swim with dolphins and sharks, explore the depths of the open waters, or go diving in the deepest pool in the world. You can even leave the city and try dune driving in the desert or soar above the sand in a hot air balloon. Fasten your seatbelt, harness or helmet – it’s going to be an exciting ride.
