About the conference

The Enhancement Themes conference is an important event in the Scottish higher education calendar, attracting over 300 delegates in recent years. We hope that the 9th conference will provide an interesting mix of sessions, giving an interactive platform for staff and students to discuss and debate practical aspects of the enhancement of learning and teaching.

The purposes of the Enhancement Themes conference are to stimulate wide-ranging discussion and debate and to show and share practical examples of the enhancement of learning and teaching from across the Scottish higher education sector and beyond. It also provides opportunities to highlight other areas of the work of the Scottish Higher Education Enhancement Committee (SHEEC).

The broad aims of the conference are to support the student learning experience through providing opportunities to:

• discuss the achievement of graduate attributes


• share and debate the achievements of the Enhancement Themes


• staff to share practical ideas relating to teaching and learning


• network with colleagues across the sector

The conference is free to attend and will be of greatest interest to those involved in Scottish higher education.
