Discover VIP Conference
This conference aims to highlight and celebrate the award-winning Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) programme at St Andrews.
A VIP is an ongoing research project led by an academic supervisor and made up of a team of students from any level of study (the ‘vertical' aspect). The team of students can come from different subject areas with diverse backgrounds and skills across both arts and science. The VIP programme in St Andrews, established in 2020 with five projects, now represents 13 interdisciplinary projects with around 250+ enrolled students every year across the Arts, Humanities and Sciences.
The aim of the conference, organised by the International Education and Lifelong Learning Institute (IELLI), is to create a space for curious staff and students to learn more about the programme and highlight the exciting research and collaborations that VIP facilitates.
All VIP students and staff, undergraduate students, academic and teaching staff, research supervisors and all those curious about VIP are welcome to attend. IELLI colleagues will showcase research presentations and posters from VIP students based on their ongoing work. You can also network with and learn from current VIP students and staff about their VIP experience.
Registrations are also welcome from participants who can only attend a portion of the event. A detailed programme of the day will be confirmed shortly. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
