Redefining Learning Forum: Securing the Research and Evidence Base for Driving the EdTech Sector
Hosted by DOHE EdTech Hub in collaboration with techUK, Policy Connect and Weypoint, this event will focus on exploring how the UK can strengthen connections between research activity, innovation, and adoption across the EdTech ecosystem.
