Resilient Learning Communities – our next Enhancement Theme!

Date: August 3 - 2020

We are incredibly excited to be starting work on the next three-year Enhancement Theme – Resilient Learning Communities! We are also delighted to welcome our new Theme Leadership Team:

  • Theme Leader: Professor Clare Peddie, University of St Andrews
  • Deputy Leader: Professor Ruth Taylor, University of Aberdeen
  • Student Leader: Mr Alex Hedlund, Heriot-Watt University

We are working closely with them to start planning activities and over the coming months we will bring you more information about our Team and what the year ahead will look like. A short leaflet provides an introduction to the Theme.

Please do get in touch with us at ARCadmin@qaa.ac.uk to share thoughts and ideas on how you might want to be involved and help us spread the word at #ETCommunities.

We are really looking forward to working with you on Resilient Learning Communities.
