The STEM team ran the event in two locations, Malaysia and Dubai. A third event will be held in the United Kingdom at the end of the month. Each event consisted of short talks followed by an open discussion on the following questions: What are the drivers for change and growth in STEM higher education and what skills do we require our STEM graduates to have?   What support for staff is needed to enable them to provide the optimum student learning experience for innovative STEM graduates?   What role has online learning in enabling students to acquire the practical skills relevant to STEM professionals in an e-enabled world?  Free places are still available for the third event in the series which will be held at The Open University in Milton Keynes on 31 March and follow the same format.

We work with institutions across the HE system to help bring about change in learning and teaching to improve the outcomes for students. We do this by recognising and rewarding excellent teaching, bringing together people and resources to research and share best practice and by helping influence, shape and implement policy. The HEA supports staff in higher education throughout their career from those who are new to teaching through to senior management. We offer services in 28 disciplines and throughout the UK, and have offices in England, Wales and Scotland. Through the partnership management team we work directly with institutions to understand individual circumstances and priorities and bring together resources to meet them. Owned by Universities UK and Guild HE, the HEA is funded by the four national funding councils, institutional subscriptions and project income.
