Following a successful conference in September 2025, we are excited to share our webinar series focusing on the conference sub-themes. These one-hour sessions are open to all, whether you were able to join the conference or not. We really hope that they will that they will extend the reach of the conference, energise participants, and turn inspiration into concrete results, amplifying the sparks ignited at the conference.
The sessions will be moderated by the convenors of each of the seven sub-themes, along with invited panellists. This webinar series aims to:
- give a flavour of trends, shifts and ideas that were discussed under each of these themes at the UKFIET September 2025 conference
- provide an insight into recommendations made
- shine a light on new methodologies and tools that were discussed
- spotlight some issues discussed during the sessions
- highlight thoughts on future directions.
See the dates below (please note, you should register for each webinar individually). We hope you can join us to continue the conversations started in Oxford.
