HEA STEM: Upcoming workshops

Dear Colleagues

We have three exciting workshops specifically aimed at STEM academics in November. The first is an Interdisciplinary Showcase that is taking place at the BBC in London. We currently have a call for short submissions out for this. We aim to have six short presentations on the day with the best of them being awarded £1000 to continue and enhance their work. This is a great opportunity to compete for funding for your project.

Our second event is an interactive workshop held at UCLAN, where we will examine the employability skills of STEM graduates and look at how the curriculum can be used as a vehicle to enhance a range of such skills. This workshop may also interest those working in careers departments.

Finally the University of Ulster will host an event on 22 November on Digital Literacy in STEM Disciplines. This interactive workshop will explore how technology can be introduced into the curriculum to enhance digital literacy (DL).

About the Higher Education Academy

The HEA is a national body for enhancing learning and teaching in higher education in the UK. We work with institutions across the HE system to help bring about change in learning and teaching to improve the outcomes for students. We do this by recognising and rewarding excellent teaching, bringing together people and resources to research and share best practice and by helping influence, shape and implement policy.

The HEA supports staff in higher education throughout their career from those who are new to teaching through to senior management. We offer services in 28 disciplines and throughout the UK, and have offices in England, Wales and Scotland. Through the partnership management team we work directly with institutions to understand individual circumstances and priorities and bring together resources to meet them.

Owned by Universities UK and Guild HE, the HEA is funded by the four national funding councils, institutional subscriptions and project income.
