The 14th Oxford Stuttering and Cluttering Research Conference (formerly the Oxford Dysfluency Conference) will be held under the theme ‘Building the Future’ and will take place at St Catherine’s College Oxford from 23–26 September 2025.

The conference brings together researchers and clinicians, providing a showcase and forum for discussion and collegial debate about the most current and innovative research and clinical practices.

Throughout the history of the conference, the primary aim has been to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. The conference seeks to promote research that informs therapy, with interventions that are supported by sound theory and evidence, which serves to inform future research.

Conference Topics

• Conceptualizing stuttering
