The event was a great opportunity for practitioners to share their research. Conference artist Graham Ogilvie captured the day in pictures, and Professor Jean McNiff, an action research specialist, led the celebration of what the programme has achieved. Paul Crisp, from CUREE, outlined how the reports of the projects will be showcased by the ETF. The final reports and case studies will be available in a booklet format soon.
