UKRO Annual Conference

Each year the UK Research Office organises a two-day Annual Conference for European Liaison Officers. The Conference provides an excellent forum for discussion and networking with key speakers from the European Institutions and UK Government departments on a wide range of EU policies and funding opportunities. More information on UKRO conferences is available on the UKRO conference website.

Training and Development Activities 2009-2010

UKRO has extensive experience in the provision of information events and training courses. Drawing on subscriber needs and experiences, UKRO aims to provide events on issues relevant to European Liaison Officers (ELOs) and the wider research community.

Where appropriate, UKRO is committed to working with ELOs and other training and information providers in order to ensure the best quality training and information events on EU research and higher education activities are offered.

Participation at UKRO events is normally allocated on a first come-first served basis. Where courses are offered to non-subscribing organisations, UKRO subscribers will be offered an earlier opportunity to register. Unless otherwise stated, UKRO events are offered to subscribers at no charge.

Note to subscribers: For a list of all events for subscribers only, please visit our subscriber website.
