SEC2023

Our two-day hybrid conference focussed on the topic of ‘A Curriculum for the Future – Rising to Grand Challenges’. The recordings of all the sessions are now available to view on SEC Rewind.​​​​​​​

SEC2022

The Covid pandemic and the challenges of adapting to a new way of working and delivering the student education experience has placed sense of belonging at the heart of discussions around student education. The theme of 'Belonging and Community' seemed an appropriate choice for the 2022 conference.

The standout for many was the student voice, whether from students delivering parallel and snap sessions or the inspiring and thought provoking student panel.

SEC2021

To support our community in reflecting on and sharing lessons from the experiences of adapting to remote learning the theme for 2021 was 'Lessons from a hybrid teaching world'.

There was a record turnout for the 40 parallel and snap sessions, all delivered online, as well as the keynote presentation from Prof. Tansy Jessop, Pro Vice Chancellor for Education, University of Bristol.
