Higher Education Network
The Geological Society established a Higher Education Network in 2010. The purpose of the Network is to bring together those researching and teaching in the Higher Education sector to develop and discuss best practice in areas of shared interest; and to grow the Society’s engagement with this community. Such shared interests often cross the disciplinary specialisms which our Specialist Groups serve – they include geoscience pedagogy and curriculum development; student skills requirements (e.g. field skills); professional formation and development (not a matter exclusively of interest to those working in industry); knowledge transfer and university-industry-government collaboration; intellectual property protection and development; and outreach from the Higher Education sector, linking to Earth science education in schools and the wider community.
The Network works collaboratively with the Society’s Education Committee, the HE Academy, ESTA, CHUGD and other bodies nationally and internationally.
