Ghent hosted the EFYE 2016 - 4 - 6 April
There was two main themes:
Institutional development
* Who are FYE stakeholders and with what/how should they be engaged?
* How do we embed a culture of FYE for all stakeholders?
* Is it possible for FYE to be a standalone activity?
* In what ways can/should FYE move from organic development to strategic ownership?
* What 'language'/terminology should be used to promote FYE: retention or success?
The student lifecycle
* How do we prepare students for their new lives at university?
* How do we best deliver new students' inductions?
* How do we help students to make the transition through the year?
* How do we prepare students for subsequent studies?
