About the Forum

The Forum draws together representatives from institutions across the North East interested in PDP and portfolio learning. As a community of practice, the Forum provides a space to share good practice and develop new ideas and approaches. the Forum was established in 2005 as part of the first EPICS project.

The current EPICS-2 project will support 5 themed workshops which will both contribute to the other activities of the project and also act as a vehicle for dissemination (for information, and for engagement of new and existing partners).
