This Working Group is organised by the University of Leeds.
The NEON Working Group aims to bring together practitioners and researchers to share best practice, innovate and test models that will:
- Widen access to postgraduate taught and doctoral study addressing gaps where there is under-representation. This includes a project to trial the use of additional criteria in the admissions process;
- Contribute to the depth and breadth of understanding of barriers to, and within postgraduate study, sharing research and considering intersections of disadvantage;
- Consider metrics for the evaluation of intervention activity to support progression of under-represented groups , and within, postgraduate study;
- Seek opportunities to share best practice at a national level
