This international conference will provide a platform to consider how we can nurture and inspire all bioscience students to realise their full potential, and will:

• showcase and disseminate evidence informed practice in the biosciences from the UK and overseas;
• explore how we can most effectively engage bioscience students to maximise their learning and achievement; and
• provide networking and professional development opportunities for participants.

The themes of the Conference are:

• Inspiring first year students
• Engaging students in the laboratory and field
• Biologists working with others – interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary learning and teaching
• Students and academics working together to improve the student learning experience

And the conference will be of interest to individuals:

• Involved with teaching bioscience in higher and further education
• Supporting staff and students in bioscience departments
• Conducting research and development in bioscience education
• Developing policy and practice relevant to bioscience education in professional institutions and government organisations

Conference Programme

The Conference programme will bring together practitioners to discuss and share experiences and practice, through parallel sessions, workshops and poster sessions alongside more informal discussion time during breaks and the conference dinner. The smaller nature of the Conference (around 120 delegates) will facilitate informal discussion and networking amongst all participants.
