Upcoming events and opportunities to get involved

Below are our upcoming events and opportunities for you to get involved in the programme. Involvement and engagement from the research community is important in ensuring the programme’s success, so make your voice heard.

RLP2 workshops

The Research Lifecycle Programme (RLP) team need the research community’s views for a RLP2 business case on future investments to facilitate research. The team want to ensure that any future investment into a second RLP is purposeful, beneficial and guided by the research community. For this reason, they need a wide range of research and research support staff to tell them their needs and ideas to shape the future of research support and infrastructure over the next few years.

Faculty focused workshops:
