Update Sep 2022
The Institute for Academic Development continues to offer a mix of online and on-campus activities to staff and students.
During AY22/23, we will be running an increased number of on-campus options compared to the last couple of years. Do therefore check workshop and event information carefully when booking, to be sure of the mode of delivery.
IAD Digital Workshop Attendance
The IAD is committed to supporting hybrid teaching, research and working during AY21/22 and have developed new content and adapted existing provision to address the needs of researchers.
We have planned a comprehensive programme of digital provision (workshops, events and individual consultations) for AY21/22, and are starting to reintroduce more in person events. All Research Staff will be able to access the full range of IAD provision whether they are on campus, in Edinburgh or elsewhere.
