Your next opportunity to network
PIM: The EAP Student: identity, community and belonging
University of Edinburgh
15th November 2025
The University of Edinburgh invites you to attend a PIM on Saturday 15th November 2025 in Scotland's historic capital city. This PIM aims to shine the spotlight on the EAP student focussing on themes of identity, community and belonging from the perspective of the student: the ways in which academic identities are formed; how students navigate and establish themselves in the university community; what EAP practitioners do to foster a sense of belonging which will enable and empower students to enter, inhabit, contribute to, and shape their chosen academic community; and how students can be partners to EAP practitioners in the development of our field.
