Who is the network for?

The Edinburgh Network: Growing Approaches to Genuine Engagement (ENGAGE) aims to bring together University of Edinburgh students and staff interested in creating genuine and meaningful interactions between students and staff focused on learning, teaching and assessment. Meetings focus on sharing ideas, research and practice, and offer space for discussion and collegial support. Whether you are interested in enhancing student engagement in learning and teaching from the student or staff perspective, you are welcome to come along.

Student engagement across the university

To find out more about how staff and students work together at the university, you can visit the staff and student Partnership Agreement pages. The Partnership Agreement sets out how the University and Edinburgh University Students Association are working together to enhance the student experience. It is reviewed annually and the priorities are agreed in consultation with students and staff.

2023-24 workshops

As the year progresses more workshops will be added as details are confirmed and so we would ask you to please check back throughout the academic year.
