Advanced Training Open to Non-Departmental Students
Warwick ESRC DTC Advanced Training planning form – 2015-16
Thank you for expressing an interest in running an ESRC DTC Advanced Training event. Your support in providing excellent training opportunities to Social Science PhD students both here at Warwick and across the UK through the ESRC Doctoral Training Centre Network is very much appreciated. We hope to run at least 5 Advanced Training events here at Warwick in throughout the 2015-16 academic year.
Planning your Advanced Training event
Please fill in theESRC DTC Advanced Training planning form attached.
The ESRC DTC Training Coordinator, Judith McAllister, will support you in the planning and publicity of your event to the extent that you require it.
With so many events to organise, departmental assistance in the booking of venues and catering is very much appreciated. However, if you require DTC assistance in the booking of venues and catering please make this clear as soon as possible as this can be a time consuming process.
If making venue and catering arrangement directly or through your departmental administrators please provide the DTC Training Coordinator with a budget breakdown and allow us to approve the cost before bookings are finalised. The necessary cost codes and expense forms can then be provided.
If the DTC Training Coordinator is to make venue and catering bookings for you please make sure you provide as much detail as possible regarding your requirements in the DTC Advanced Training planning form below as this will save us having to come back to you with queries.
Registration for your event
Registration for your event will take place via an online system on the DTC’s website. Please let the Training Coordinator know if there is any specific information which you would like to be captured during registration e.g. breakout group preferences or prior experience in the subject matter.
Advertising the event
We ask that you create your own publicity materials as you know how best to pitch your event to your potential audience. Please provide the Training Coordinator with publicity materials for your event (which may include posters, web text with images etc.) as soon as possible once date and location details are set. The sooner advertising can begin and the greater likelihood there is of your event being well attended.
The Training Coordinator will use the information provided on the DTC Advanced Training planning form and the publicity materials you provide to advertise your event on the NCRM website, the ESRC DTC website, plasma screens across the Social Science building and in the library and PG hub as well as with our Midland Graduate School (Birmingham and Nottingham University ESRC DTC) colleagues.
Thank you for your help and please do not hesitate to get in touch with Training Coordinator, Judith McAllister () if you need to discuss anything or require any further help
