Project workshop, Edinburgh

  • Venue: University of Edinburgh Informatics Forum
  • Start: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:30:00 GMT
  • End: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 14:30:00 GMT
Join us for an interactive and collaborative session reporting on the results of the CoCoNet project - and help us drive the next stages in our collaboration.
Is the dissertation dead?
The CoCoNet project brings together educators in UK HEIs with a shared interest in all aspects of individual final year and postgraduate projects. Our goal is to identify where innovations to practice are desirable, in the face of challenges provided by increasing cohort sizes and resource pressures, student expectations and generative AI. We have brought together practitioners from 10 UK HEI institutions to explore how projects are managed, supervised and assessed. 
From 11:30 - 12:30 we will present the outcomes of the project and present some examples of innovative practice among the collaborators.
Then from 13:00 to 14:30 we will open up the discussion around themes, to identify further challenges, case studies and opportunities.
Thanks to CSEG for hosting and to CPHC for sponsorship of CoCoNet.
Steve Riddle and Mark Zarb, CoCoNet Organisers
