Our first event of the network will bring partners together to discuss opportunities for collaboration, inform the content of the network and begin to identify topics for future funding calls. The agenda will include information about the network, presentations from colleagues representing different communities, as well as plenty of networking time.

The Launch venue is the Principal Hotel, York. The hotel is immediately next to the train station, making it a very convenient and comfortable location.

  • Day 1: Tuesday 14 January, 11am – 5.30pm
  • Launch Dinner: Tuesday 14 January, 7pm
  • Day 2: Wednesday 15 January, 9am -3pm

Attendance is free to network members, although we are not able to reimburse travel expenses to all members. To become a network member, please complete the pre-launch survey.

Accommodation is available to purchase at the venue at the rate of £92 per night. We have limited funding available to cover travel and accommodation expenses for members who would otherwise be unable to attend the event. You can apply for this funding through the application form.
