Training Schedule
The following is the schedule as February 2024. 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, further information about these training opportunities, and on how to register interest and sign up for them, will be forthcoming shortly.
