Annual meeting 11

N8 CIR RSE Annual Meeting, July 2025

The N8 CIR RSE meeting this year took place in York and focused on establishing community strategies to develop the RSE community through the coming year.

This year, the meeting focused on solutions and the impact the community would like to have, and the actions and objectives required to achieve it. This moved from determining

  • The needs of the community
  • Actions
  • Outputs
  • Short-term objectives, and
  • Long-term impact.

The day was divided into round-table discussions, focused presentations, and a soft-skills workshop.
