On Friday 8 July we welcomed academics from our Partner in Learning institutions to Chartered Accountants' Hall for a day of networking, discussion and debate.
This conference is the largest academic event that the Learning Team runs throughout the year. It gives our academic contacts a platform to discuss issues in higher education, present their research and demonstrate new and innovative teaching methods. Maintaining an open dialogue with academia and industry / practice, is vital to wider and easier access to the profession for university students. This event promotes collaboration and networking and helps to bridge the gap between the academic and professional worlds. Opening up this dialogue and blending academic and professional learning is the cornerstone of the ICAEW Partner in Learning scheme, and it is demonstrated most clearly at this yearly event.
Some of the main themes of the day focused on diversity and inclusion, sustainability and technology.

A really good event with great opportunities for networking and understanding more how the links between ICAEW and HE do and could work.
