Research Further Webinars
The Research Further initiative was established collaboratively by Association of Colleges and NCFE in 2021, with the aim to support, drive and encourage college-centred research that can help influence policy and practice.
As part of the initiative we host three webinars per project year, with topics driven by the scholars’ research, challenges that frequently come up in one-to-ones, or wider areas of interest. Topics range from resilience and managing competing pressures, to working with data, creating research groups and publishing within the FE sector. The webinar series is open to both scholars and members of the public. We look forward to engaging with the wider FE research community to encourage wider collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
