We're pleased to announce that the site visits for international delegates attending #sparqs19 are now open to book!
In addition to the main conference on 28th March 2019, the optional site visits and International Delegates' Day during the same week as the conference are once again available to enable international delegates to make the most of their visit!
The opportunities are primarily aimed at international delegates, but those from the rest of the UK are also most welcome to attend.
.
Optional site visits
The optional site visits include a mix of college, university and sector agency sessions across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paisley and Perth, allowing people to hear more about Scotland's student engagement and quality processes, whilst enabling visitors to see a bit more of the country!
The visits are now open to book, with anyone interested invited to sign-up directly with the hosts for any of the visits they are interested in. While there is no cost for the actual visits, delegates will need to arrange and pay for their own travel to/from them. Please note that the deadline for signing up for the visits is Friday 15th March 2019.

International Delegates' Day - 27th March
The International Delegates' Day will provide an opportunity to learn about the Scottish context of student engagement, including a visit to the University of Dundee and some local sightseeing, rounded off with dinner back in Edinburgh in the evening. Attending this day incurs a cost, and can be booked at the point of registering for the main conference.
See the International delegate programme page for all the details!
