IATL Activity and Achievement Summary 

We have produced a summary of our main activity and impact during the IATL strategy cycle of 2018-2023. This primarily involved supporting the University’s priorities around innovative teaching and learning pedagogies, through our core activities of interdisciplinary teaching and undergraduate research and through funding provided to staff and students outside IATL.
