On September 3rd, 2025, we (SUPER) will be running a meeting / knowledge exchange / research session which we would like to invite you to, it will be held in the University of Strathclyde in central Glasgow.
The aim of the meeting will be to share good practice and develop an understanding of skills, learning and teaching in undergraduate physics courses in Scotland. Specifically, experimental, tactile, and problem-solving capabilities of incoming students will be considered with the aim of improving the secondary to tertiary transition in the Scottish context. This is intended to be the start of a new collaborative project in Scottish UG physics teaching.
Many others have expressed interest in this project and we plan to move beyond the Scottish context during phase 2 of the research. We hope to have every Scottish University with a UG Physics department represented and the event will be of interest to anyone working in Physics Undergraduate teaching, and especially those with work which relates to first- and second-year students. This includes, but is not limited to, teachers, technicians, researchers, and academic staff.
Further details will be released soon, but please keep the date free!
