The first in person learning set will be hosted in a central London location.
- Participants will agree on the locations for the other sessions based on the geography of those involved. Sessions are likely to be hosted by a combination of participating institutions and the AHUA sponsor, Shakespeare Martineau (at their offices in London, Birmingham or Manchester).
- The Set will also agree on mutually convenient start and finish times e.g. 10am to 4pm, or 10.30am to 4.30pm to enable those who wish to travel on the day but there will also be the option for participants to gather the night before the session for dinner.
- If participants wish to travel the day before, it is likely that provision can be made at the venue for those who need a quiet space in which to work or log onto meetings, before or after the session.
We will launch further sets once these sets are full and running and demand requires.
