sparqs has a range of different events aimed at students, institutions and students’ associations. Events requiring registration can be found below, once they have been opened for bookings. Events for members of specific networks/groups may not require registration. A list of all forthcoming events can be found on our Events & meetings calendar webpage.
SESN and NEON online events
Based on feedback from network members, as of January 2026 we are trialling a new process for attendance at our regular online meetings of SESN and NEON. Members were previously required to register for each individual meeting; Instead, calendar appointments will now be sent to all those signed up to our Jiscmail list for each network and members will be asked to accept/decline to confirm whether they plan to attend each online meeting (in-person network meetings will still require registration for practical purposes). See the SESN and NEON pages for links to join the Jiscmail if you wish to join either network and please contact us at admin@sparqs.ac.uk if you have any queries.
