Education Champions

SICSA Education Champions represent each of our universities across Scotland, organising events and activities relevant to Computing Science Education including professional lectures, conferences, training and research studies.
We aim to:
  • Scope out events and activities that can promote and complement existing efforts within individual institutions;
  • Raise awareness of activities within institutions which may interest the wider SICSA Education community;
  • Promote SICSA Education activities within institutions to ensure we are reaching the right audience.
“The Education Champions play a hugely important role in how SICSA Education engages with the wider Scottish Higher Education community. I’m looking forward to working with our Champions to expand our network and help share good practice in CS Education across all of our universities.”
