Training Schedule
The following is the schedule as June 2025. This is subject to change, and more training will certainly be added as the Programme proceeds.Unless otherwise indicated, all training is ‘train-the-trainer’. Attendees are expected to be familiar with the topic, and to use the UKRN training to help them prepare to deliver training at their institution soon afterwards.
Please note that training is currently only available to institutional partners of the Open Research Programme, but we hope to offer training more widely in the future.
Unless otherwise indicated, further information about these training opportunities, and on how to register interest and sign up for them, will be forthcoming shortly.
