The Language Intervention Networking seminar series showcases community practitioners working to support minority and community languages across the UK. Each seminar has a different theme, and features a panel discussion followed by time for Q&A.

Organised by the School of Language, Literature, Music and Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen, these seminars provide an opportunity for language practitioners to network and share their learning with colleagues in different language contexts, as well as policy makers and academics. The seminars will be recorded, edited, and put online to become a learning resource for a wider audience.

Applications are now open for the New Carnegie Masters Grant.

Carnegie Masters Grants aim to reduce that barrier by providing financial support for eligible students taking up a full‑time or part‑time taught master’s programme at any Scottish higher education institution.

The scheme is designed for students who:
- Are ordinarily resident in Scotland
- Live in low‑income households
- Have applied for, or secured, a place on an eligible taught master’s course beginning in 2026/27

Applications are open until 31/07/2026.
