Why attend?
Are you attending your first EAIE Conference and Exhibition in Glasgow? Join us for a friendly and informative webinar designed especially for young professionals and first-time participants. We know the first few days can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems like everyone already knows each other. This short session will help you feel more confident, connected and ready to make the most of your experience.
You’ll hear from Ceren Genc of Utrecht University, who will share what she wishes she had known before attending her first EAIE Conference. Drawing on her extensive experience in international higher education and long-standing involvement in the EAIE community, she’ll offer practical tips and personal insights to help you navigate the event with ease. Stay after the presentation for an optional breakout discussion, providing a relaxed way to meet fellow newcomers and start building your network before you even arrive in Glasgow.
