Training & Short Courses
The RRI Hub at UCL provides a diverse range of RRI-focused trainings and workshops for undergraduate and postgraduate students (including those in EPSRC Centers for Doctoral Training (CDT)) as well as professionals both within and beyond university settings. Since its setup in 2019, the Hub has expanded its offerings considerably with its current CDT training portfolio alone spanning eleven of UCL’s EPSRC funded CDTs including those jointly run with (and involving CDT students at) other the Universities of Cambridge (CDT for Electronic & Photonic Systems), Cardiff (Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing), Loughborough (Energy Resilience and the Built Environment), Manchester (BioDesign) and Imperial College London (BioDesign).
This training is offered at three levels, aimed at the three years of PhD study: basic (level 1) combining a self-paced learning component) for first year PhDs, intermediate (Level 2) for second years and advanced (Level 3) for third years.
Beyond this CDT portfolio, the Hub’s executive education offers short courses for interested professionals of varying seniority across diverse sectors (including transport, health, banking, and construction).
