The whole day has been put together based on the feedback from last year and through YRAF.
The afternoon will involve working in smaller groups to discuss case studies around the 4 different subjects. We are going to get audience to drag a chair over to the station that corresponds to the coloured dot on their badge- they will then rotate round each station- 4 stations, 30 mins at each -we will tell them when to rotate.

3. Requests included: Within core hours Avoid weeks either side of Easter
Be green- plastic free
Not parallel sessions
One venue
Networking opportunities
Interactive session
These are the requests from the feedback gathered at YRAF - we have I think addressed all of these and everyone has been asked to bring their own mugs to keep plastic to a minimum. The afternoon is completely interactive (allowing for networking)

4. Suggestions for topics included:
Strategy
Knowledge exchange strategy, University aspirations, REF
Finance
Agresso, research income, VAT, Money flow- allocation to departments
Research grants and contracts
A day in the life of RGC, What does RGC have to do at the close of a grant, how to establish best practice between RGC and departments
Worktribe and Systems
Grant reporting in PC room, PURE, Worktribe
Intellectual property
IP please!
Integrity and compliance
Open access, ethics, GDPR (research), research data management, research governance
The suggested topics could be quite nicely grouped into sections and we have tried to include something from each section except Worktribe and systems as this was requested to be covered but perhaps separately in interactive PC sessions. (may have some info fromm David to include).
There are some topics we were unable to include but we aim to add include these as session in the YRAF meetings.
