Dear SI-PASS colleagues,
We hope that the start of the academic year is treating you well.
We would be grateful if you could share the below opportunity with colleagues who may be interested in becoming SI-PASS Supervisors.
We are pleased to invite participants to our new hybrid SI-PASS Supervisor Training, hosted by the European Centre for SI-PASS at Lund University.
Dates:
📍 Lund: 12-13 November 2026
💻 Online: 26 November & 3 December 2026
This new format offers the opportunity to meet colleagues face-to-face, experience the European Centre for SI-PASS firsthand, and build valuable professional connections, while reducing travel and accommodation costs compared to a traditional three-day in-person event.
To make travel easier, the in-person programme starts at 10:30 on Day 1 and ends at 15:00 on Day 2, allowing many participants to travel on the same days. Lund is also easily accessible via direct trains to/from Copenhagen Airport and Sweden's rail network, and offers easy access to Malmö and Copenhagen for those wishing to extend their stay.
The training covers the same comprehensive content as our established SI-PASS supervisor training, including the foundations of the SI-PASS model, programme implementation, and programme support, monitoring and evaluation. The ~1100 EUR (13,300 SEK) course fee includes training, materials, lunches and refreshments during the in-person days, and ongoing support through the European SI-PASS community, invitations to regular discussion sessions, and shared resources.
Learn more about the training and register on our website <https://www.si-pass.lu.se/form/si-pass-supervisor-training-november-2026-lu…> Registration closes on October 23rd
We hope to welcome new participants to Lund this November.
