Formerly the AUA HE in FE Special Interest Group, this SIG has been renamed AUA Partnerships and its remit widened to include partnerships and collaborations in general.
Currently the group's discussion includes topics on HE provision in FE such as conference announcements and sharing good practice. Now new members are welcome and discussion on wider topics, relating to the UK and overseas, is encouraged. This could include Erasmus Mundus and other European matters, contractual processes and problems, and other areas that members might like to share with regard to the development and management of partnerships and collaborations. The convenor is Ewa Thompson, Plymouth.
