- Preliminary early feedback from SMarRteN work on student ethnographic case studies, reflecting on how students are thinking about mental health and wellbeing
- The challenge of developing a set of core outcome measures for student mental health and well-being, and creating a common language
- Consideration of how to measure the cost implications of poor student functioning and mental health
- Networking opportunity
- Development of potential research projects for the Plus-funding call.
