As part of NIE’s 75th Anniversary celebrations, the Office for Research and NIE Library will be co-organising a Book Launch Celebration to recognise the scholarly contributions of NIE faculty across a diverse range of publications. Featuring books published in 2024–2025, this event celebrates the intellectual breadth and impact of NIE’s academic community. A highlight of the event is a panel discussion, where selected authors will share their personal experiences navigating the publishing process across different types of publishers – including university publication, international academic publishers and commercial outlets. The session aims to inspire fellow educators and researchers to embark on their own publication journeys and contribute meaningfully to the field of education and beyond.
