GO-GN at OER23: Inverness calling!

We’re delighted to be co-chairing OER23 and joining friends and colleagues in Inverness this April!

The OER23 conference features over 80 fantastic sessions and more than 100 presenters. We’re also delighted that GO-GN is well represented in the conference programme, with a total of 16 member and alumni presentations, workshops and a keynote across the conference. Eight alumni and six members will be (co-) presenting. In addition, there will be two team presentations. Prior to the conference, we’re also looking forward to welcoming over fifteen GO-GN’ers from around the world to discuss and share their research as part of our first face-to-face workshop this year.

To make it easy for you to find our fantastic GO-GN’ers during the conference, we’ve put together a curated list of sessions below. Alumni, members and the team are all marked in bold text.
