Training and Events Calendar

Below is a list of WRDTP training events taking place in the coming weeks (this can be searched by category or keyword). More events will be added in due course, including for the 2026-27 academic year. You can view a full list of training planned in the 2025-26 academic year here: WRDTP Training Calendar 2025-26.

All of our events are free of charge and open to all ESRC and non-ESRC funded PhD and MA Social Research students within the WRDTP’s seven partner universities. Whilst pathway events may be of particular use to members of those pathways, PGRs from all seven interdisciplinary pathways are welcome to attend. Selected events will also be open to PGRs from other UK DTPs (as indicated in the Training Calendar above).

Please note: The WRDTP is committed to sustainability and to reducing the waste from excess catering at events. A key challenge here is non-attendance at events. From October 1st 2025, the WRDTP will be changing the way we manage the non-attendance of PGR students who have booked place/s at WRDTP Training events. Any PGR student who does not inform the WRDTP (via training@wrdtp.ac.uk) that they will not be able to attend a WRDTP event at least 3 working days before the event takes place will have the cost of their place deducted from their RTSG (if a WRDTP-funded student), or have this charged to their department (if not funded by the WRDTP). This will allow us to better plan for events and to avoid catering waste. Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter.
