Timings and practical details
The link was open from 9.50am, and the meeting itself began at 10.00am and finished by 12noon. It was free to join, and details of the joining arrangements and agenda were circulated to those who registered.
As we were not constrained by venue size, there was no limit to the number of participants from institutions. We still required delegates to register, though, so that we knew numbers and could keep the event secure. As usual we specifically invited staff from institutions or students’ associations in Scotland with student engagement or academic representation responsibilities.
