Lovely to have spent the week in Liverpool for #UACES2025. Great to catch up with colleagues and friends, and to learn what’s going in European Studies. Thanks to the amazing @uaces.bsky.social team for organising.

Had a great few days in Lille for the European Universities Continuing Education Network conference. Always helpful to be reminded of the value of sharing experiences and insights with colleagues elsewhere.
