Practice & Research Network

Our Practice and Research Network is a community organised through our LinkedIn pages, which facilitates discussion, collaboration and sharing of work. The Network meets twice in the academic year, once at Conference, and again in the Spring, where colleagues come together to disseminate findings and identify more work that can be undertaken. To contribute to, and learn from, the Network, simply join the LinkedIn group and then select the Network area, everyone from a member institution is welcome. Here you can ask questions and exchange practice with others carrying out research into Work based and Placement Learning from across the UK and beyond.

This event was Free of Charge to ASET members. Alongside the Presenters, it was particularly good to welcome delegates as observers beginning to think about how they might get started with their own research into Work based and Placement Learning.
