At this year's CamERA conference, over 100 members of Faculty staff and doctoral students came together to explore the range of research currently taking place in the Faculty and to discuss research informally.
The conference took as its theme CREATING CONDITIONS FOR EFFECTIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING. There were nine seminars, organized by the academic groups, each offering several papers (see Session abstracts link below).
