With all the tasks that have to be juggled, the hectic role of the academic manager often leaves very little time for reflection and discussion. ELT Ireland's next event will be our Manager Meet-up. This is an opportunity to talk to other academic managers to share ideas, and look at the common issues that come up in the course of ELT management. These informal meetings will be loosely themed and will also offer an online forum to allow communication and professional relationships to develop after each Meet-up.
