Working Groups

NEON Working Groups are led by members and bring the widening participation sector together to take forward an agenda in specific areas of access practice.

These groups share practice and shape the national agenda across the widening access landscape. If as a member, you wish to propose and lead a Working Group please contact NEON@londonhigher.ac.uk.

Attendance at Working Group meetings is FREE to NEON members. Non-members are welcome to attend but there is a fee of £80 per meeting.
