Invite us

Invite us to your meetings and events

The success of the programme’s change projects is dependent on the involvement of our research community from all faculties and directorates.

In addition to our regular events, we’d like you to get in touch and invite us to come along to events or meetings within your teams, so we can talk about the programme or its projects, and take your questions face-to-face.

Since the programme started, we’ve attended various University events to talk about the programme; from 15-minute spots in team meetings to half-day workshops at school away days, and we’d like to continue this.

If you’re involved in research or its support in any way at the University, contact us to discuss potential times and dates for us to come along:
