Network Activities

Within the network, over the past year the previous convenor has sought to increase its visibility, inviting both junior and senior scholars to attend the conference. Furthermore, thanks to a European project involving scholars from NW20 and NW7, we worked together with colleagues from NW7 to organise a workshop at the ECER conference.

We are planning to submit a special issue based on the ECER papers: we started to discuss the idea during the business meeting and we are moving ahead together with the link convenors. Furthermore, we are considering a book proposal to be submitted to a publisher in the coming months.

First of all, the NW has planned to improve its visibility by strengthening ties with major European-funded projects related to the network topics, thanks to research activity set up within the network. Then, we are presenting the NW’s activity at the next WERA conference, which will be held in Bilbao in the WERA stream HORIZONS. Third, we are organising a webinar series for the winter/spring seasons aimed at PhD students. Finally, we are thinking about an international workshop on intercultural skills in HEIs, discussing how all the players (faculty members, administrative staff, students) should be re-skilled.
