We are currently finalising a series of events and workshops to support those interested in applying to this round of the FIF. These dates will be advertised next week however booking is now open for the first event.

The session will be from 12:00-14:00 and will be held in PG146, Thomas Hardy Suite, Poole House.
If you would like to attend the session please complete the booking form on the Staff Intranet (link only works whilst you are on-campus).
