The conference theme was good practice in student partnerships and our call for proposals invited submissions across a range of five sub-themes to showcase and explore current projects, initiatives and research on the development of effective partnership working.
We received a large number of proposals from universities, colleges and partners in Scotland, the rest of the UK and internationally.... all of which contributed to the success of the conference.
