Non-Attendance

Whilst this event is free to attend for social science PGRs at our partner universities, please note that it has been organised at a significant cost to the WRDTP (approximately £180 per person). It is therefore essential that you inform us as soon as possible, and with a minimum of 3 working days’ notice, if you need to cancel your place. This will help us to avoid wastage, and allow us to offer your place to someone else. The WRDTP reserves the right to make a deduction from your RTSG (for ESRC-funded PGRs) or to charge your department (for PGRs with other funding arrangements) if you cancel at short notice, or if you do not attend the event having booked a place. Thank you for your understanding.
