Upcoming Events

The N8 CIR has developed a growing network that now includes over 1500 researchers and research support professionals who participate in in-person and online training events and focused community meetings. Listed below are events that may be of interest in the coming months.

If you are considering holding an event and would like our support, or organising an event yourself and want to advertise it here and on the N8 CIR network, please fill in our EVENT PLANNING FORM.

To be kept up to date with our upcoming events, you can follow us on our Eventbrite page.

As part of our commitment to making our events accessible, we offer a bursary to anyone who feels they are unable to attend due to financial barriers. Please find out more on our bursaries page.
