Position Papers

There are many outputs expected from the FaSMEd Project and we plan to populate this area of the site with these as the project progresses.

As work package leaders, Newcastle University led on the WP1 framework and deliverables, structuring the theoretical and methodological foundations of the project.  Discussions at the Inception meeting had revealed varying interpretations of key educational concepts that would be important to the FaSMEd project and so it was proposed that a number of ‘position papers’ be written that would clarify whole project understandings.  Drawing upon key areas of partners’ expertise, partners volunteered for individual papers and two other partners took responsibility for reviewing the paper and providing feedback which was used for revisions. Please see our Position Papers below.
