PGR Opportunity: Forum and new network on records and responsible government

The University of Essex is hosting a post-graduate forum on Tuesday 18 July 2023 (2-5pm) and is inviting PGRs from across Eastern Arc to join the discussion. The event will be hybrid, but funding is available to help with travel if you want to take part in-person and costs may be a potential barrier to you doing so.

The subject for the forum is records and responsible government. As the next generation of researchers,they are seeking to understand how archival accessibility has shaped on-going research projects and how it will continue to have an impact or expected impact.

They hope to build a network of researchers from different institutions and disciplines in order to foster future research, collaboration, and discussion. Therefore, they are working to establish new connections by inviting post-graduates to attend and contribute to this discussion.

There will be a pizza lunch at 1PM for a 2PM start.

If you are interested in attending this event to share your experiences of records and responsibility, please fill out this Google Form by 10 AM on Friday 7 July.

They have 30 spaces available and standard-class travel to the University of Essex will be reimbursed for all those attending who do not have access to institutional funding.
