Abstract
A vibrant Computer Science Education (CSE) Community of Practice is emerging in the UK and Ireland (UK&I), promoted by national and international professional body/learned society specialist interest groups and supported through a number of CSE research and practice conferences. This workshop explores how this community of practice addresses the needs of new computer science academics to UK&I higher education and what opportunities there are to bring together and develop new academics as a part of this community. The complex and contesting demands of teaching, research and managing (courses and modules) in UK&I higher education make the early career of an academic challenging and potentially lonely. Typically, initial mentoring of early career academics is via the host Department providing support for working towards a Fellowship of Higher Education Academy.
