Working with uncertainty: research administration in the real world
Expression of interest
We are using Expressions of Interest for this workshop to ensure a mix of participants from a variety of institutions and job roles, and to help course leaders in determining members of each working group. Unlike some ARMA events, we will not be accepting bookings on a 'first come, first served' basis. Please take a few minutes to tell us a bit about yourself, your role and your background.
Please use the format below to prepare your expression of interest in attending this course. You can complete it in Word or in the body of an email; when complete, you should email it to events@arma.ac.uk by 4th February 2008.
