At residential events, three core themes are addressed: Strategy and the wider environment in HE, Tools and techniques, and CPD activity, linked to our own personal objectives.
A typical agenda for the residentials includes self-managed optional Special Interest Groups (SIG), which are held at 11:00 on Day 1 for 90 mins. Outcomes from SIG discussions are often shared with the whole group in the main meeting. Main programme sessions are usually led by guest speakers or a group member, making use of the considerable expertise across the group. Networking time is built into each meeting to allow for 1:1s and group discussion.
