Seeing the big picture: navigating the science policy landscape

Monday, 5 June, 2023 - 9:30 AM

Format: In-person workshop (90 minutes) - UoL only

Understanding the science and research policy landscape gives you a significant edge when competing for research grants and similar forms of funding. We will look at where to find relevant information, how to put into practice what you have learned, and what the outcome of that might be in terms of your career development.

Facilitator: Dr Ray Kent
