Biosciences Education Australia Network (BEAN) forum is (attempting to) continue its national tour… and this year’s forum is being run in dual mode, with a small F2F gathering at QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, Southbank Brisbane on Friday, 10 December 2021. Registration cost is $85 to attend the one-day forum and lunch in Brisbane. You can register for this via the Eventbrite link above.
The BEAN forums are designed specifically to be of interest to colleagues across all of STE(A)MM, as we seek to explore ways in which to best prepare ourselves and our students for learning in the 21C. In particular, to explore how we can collaborate to enhance the curriculum from an interdisciplinary perspective that draws from all areas of academia. Please encourage your colleagues from across the disciplines to join us! We will have a series of exciting keynotes, talks and poster presentations so we can all share our latest experiences.
