The Research-Teaching Nexus Action Set is organising this conference to be convened by Professor Simon Haslett and hosted by the University of Wales at Gregynog Hall, near Newtown (Powys) on 9th and 10th September 2013.
The Conference aims to disseminate and celebrate examples and case studies of research-teaching practise and will be of interest to both university staff and students, and continues the successful biennial research-teaching practice conferences that have previously taken place at Gregynog in 2009 and 2011. It is hoped that a keynote speaker will present on both days of the Conference. To download the flyer, .
