Key Contacts Conference 5th September, Cambridge

Directly preceding DEE this year was the second annual one-day conference especially for Key Contacts. Every economics department or business school that teaches courses with an element of economics has been invited to nominate a Key Contact. (Key Contacts typically have a keen interest in learning and teaching and often have a responsibility in this area).

This one-day conference is free of charge, including accommodation on the 5th to allow Key Contacts to attend DEE. The conference focused on Assessment and Feedback; and Plagiarism.
