This event will provide an opportunity for interested applicants to ask questions and find out more about the wider changes to ESRC's Centres policy and the introduction of follow-on Transition funding and Institute status; as well as the 2018 Centres Competition application process.

Speakers will include Tony McEnery (Director of Research and Interim ESRC CEO), and speakers from a previous Centres panel and a successful Centre.

The event is free to attend; however, registration is required to ensure that the venue's capacity is not exceeded. For this reason only one delegate place is guaranteed per research organisation. However, additional delegates expressing an interest from the same research organisation will be identified and placed on a waiting list.

The closing date for registrations is 20 November 2017. All waiting list delegates will be contacted shortly after this date.
