Themed Groups

The Centre for Bioscience has supported a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Network Groups over the years. These aimed to encourage discussion and exchange of information surrounding various learning and teaching issues from a bioscience perspective. Group members had the opportunity to exchange experiences, identify and develop good practices that will be both themselves and the wider bioscience community.
