About EFYE
European First Year Experience (EFYE)
New EFYE members are welcome!
EFYE is an anual Conference on the First Year Experience designed to share ideas, research, development and success of the onboarding process of first-year students. First held in Tesside (UK) in 2006, the conference has inspired about 200-300+ participants per conference for another 15 times. This is the result of the efforts of an international committee that strives to expand the network around the exchange on the onboarding process of first-year students at universities. At each venue, the host university provides its own local planning team.
EFYEs host university in 2022 (April 20 – 22) is Graz University of Technology!
The EFYE International Committee at the word
We are a group of academics and support staff from across Europe who are interested in improving the experience of students as they enter higher education. In 2006 our inaugural conference was hosted at Teesside University and since then we have met across the continent. The EFYE Conference Planning Team includes a team of volunteers working in universities across Europe.
We are open to new hosts from across Europe. If you are interested in hosting the event in future years, please email us dianenutt@outlook.com.
