The AHRC has awarded funding jointly to the Midlands3Cities and WRoCAH Doctoral Training Partnerships to run public policy skills-based activities.

Two initial events are planned:

27 October 2015 in NOTTINGHAM
A one day event led by Institute for Government (http://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/) to introduce participants to national and regional policy making processes, including Whitehall processes and bodies relevant to ECRs.

4 November 2015 in SHEFFIELD
A second one day workshop led by the History and Policy (http://www.historyandpolicy.org/). This event will focus on writing a policy briefing document and will include Dragons’ Den’ style presentations.

By completing this expression of interest you will need to ensure that you make yourself available for BOTH of these days!
