Who can attend these courses?
ESRC training courses are available for social science researchers with preference given to ESRC-funded PhD students and researchers. Non-ESRC funded students and researchers can attend if spaces are available or will be placed on a reserve list – we may only give two weeks’ notice of available spaces.
How many people can attend each course?
- Early career – maximum of 40 participants
- Mid career – maximum of 10 participants
How much does each course cost?
The courses are offered free of charge, however the cost of getting to and from the venue is at your own expense.
How long does the course last?
Each course lasts one day – roughly 0900-17.00. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
What does the course involve?
We will send an agenda and directions to the venue with your course confirmation letter. For the senior and professorial fellows’ media training courses, the format of the day will vary depending on the group’s previous experience as stated in the registration forms.
