📅 Save the date: Let’s ESP!

Join us on 24 November 2026 at 12:30 UK time for our next Let’s ESP session.

To facilitate casual, informal interactions between professionals working in ESP and allied fields, ESPSIG is organizing virtual sessions where members of the community can get to know each other, exchange ideas, and talk about their work.

Contexts vary — and so do needs and challenges. Solutions applied in one context may or may not be applicable to another, but it’s always interesting to hear what’s happening in different parts of the world. Even more enriching is getting to know the people behind that work.

More details coming soon — for now, mark your calendar!
