Network Meetings
The Maths PAL/PASS Network meets at a couple of strategic points in the academic year. Each meeting has a specific theme, and we invite members to present on their experiences and insights. The meetings are held online, making it possible for members from different locations to participate.
If you would like to attend or be kept informed about upcoming meetings, please join the mailing list.
Upcoming Meetings
The next meeting will be held in the week beginning Monday 7th December 2026, or the following week beginning Monday 14th December 2026. We will contact network members soon for their availability.
