​Keep up with the latest from EMCEF:

12 July, 2020: EMCEF's return is delayed further

Just like June's EMCEF 38, September's EMCEF 39 has also been cancelled.
Because of the CoronaVirus pandemic and on-going restrictions placed on academic venues and events, it is not yet possible to properly set up an event. Further updates will follow in due course.

22 March, 2020: EMCEF will not resume before the next academic year

June's EMCEF 38 will not take place.
Because of the CoronaVirus pandemic, it will not be possible for conferences to take place for some months and certainly not before September, 2020.

26 December, 2019: EMCEF 37 - EMCEF2020 is now open for registration

26 September, 2019: EMCEF 36 is now open for registration

The brochure for EMCEF 36 is now available in its first version, although a couple of changes are still expected. Still, as people have been asking for it in order to register
​Registration for this event is now open...

19 September, 2019: EMCEF 35 feedback database now open

Somewhat delayed, but here it is. Please aim to return your feedback soon, so that it may be included in the statistics. The database will reply with a CPD certification e-mail (with receipt included, if applicable). Feedback returned late leads to a lot of additional work for me and will not be included in the statistics sent to lecturers for their own portfolios.

27 July, 2019: EMCEF 35 is now open for registration

The brochure for EMCEF 35 will be finalised soon, but the current version is already available. This event will mark our 10th anniversary, virtually to the day.
​Registration for this event is now open...

21 March, 2019: EMCEF 34 is now open for registration

The brochure for EMCEF 34 will be finalised soon, but the current version is already available. This event is quite a special one, as we mark our 10th year running.

9 June, 2018: EMCEF 30 feedback database closing soon

As feedback is returned for EMCEF 30, I take this opportunity to remind all of the winning team from the quiz - Worcester - here photographed as their score was being announced.

A couple of teams have already been proposed for the next quiz, but this will not be taking place any time soon. Certainly not in 2018. Still, nominations will be accepted for further teams.

9 May, 2018: EMCEF 30 feedback database now open

17 April, 2018: 7 CPD credits now approved for EMCEF 30 by EMCEF100

CPD accreditation has now been secured through EMCEF100. We also have a 3rd team nearly confirmed and places are filling up as more people return from leave and submit their registration details.

13 April, 2018: Two quiz teams for EMCEF 30

Registration for EMCEF 30 continues rather slowly, but it's already half full. As for the quiz, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that we already have two out of the four teams nominated. The bad news is that both are from outside the West Midlands region! This is a surprise to me and, I expect, will surprise most people. Still, a number of West Midlands people have indicated that they are working on setting up teams from their own departments. There are also two further potential teams from outside the region - if they register first and complete the list of four teams, then that will be that and the West Midlands region will not be represented on the quiz...

The brochure for EMCEF 29 has been updated and what might be the final version is now available.

29 November, 2017: EMCEF 29 is now open for registration

The brochure for EMCEF 29 will be finalised in a matter of days, but the current version is already available. As can be seen from the schedule for the day, this one is quite a special one.
