OPENspace team members are highly active in teaching and supervision in the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) at Edinburgh College of Art.
Postgraduate taught programmes
Catharine Ward Thompson and Simon Bell initiated the MSc in Landscape and Wellbeing at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) in 2016. Scott Ogletree is now the programme Director.
The programme introduces academics and practitioners to the evidence base on landscapes which support and enhance human health and wellbeing, and helps them to think about applying the evidence in landscape planning and design.

OPENspace research seminar series
To support our students in developing their presentation skills, and to share their work with peers and colleagues across the University of Edinburgh and beyond, we have established the OPENspace research seminar series.
Seminars take place about once a month, on selected Tuesday lunchtimes, during semester time. Speakers range from our own postgraduate students, to peers and early career researchers from other Schools and Universities, and visiting researchers.
