Partnership
The Partnership SIG aims to provide an opportunity for academic and non-academic staff within higher education to discuss issues relating to partnership working between students and staff in higher education.
The SIG addresses a wide range of issues pertinent to student:staff partnerships. Such issues relate to general theoretical discussions about the development of student engagement to focussed debate on specific areas of activity.
​
The SIG has a strong emphasis on workshop style events to encourage discussion and debate. Events can be in-person or online.
​
To be notified of SIG events, please join the RAISE JISC mailing list.
