3rd Annual MERU Conference
Plans for the third annual MERU conference are progressing apace and an exciting programme is taking shape. As well as showcasing some of the research activity which MERU has been supporting, we will be offering workshops to help you plan, execute and publish your own education research if you are new to the field. We think we are offering something for everyone, so please save the date.

The meeting will be on the South Kensington campus on the afternoon of 13th September. It will begin at 13:30 with lunch and will end at 17:30 with a drinks reception. Full details of the programme and information on how to register will be circulated later this month.
