2021 Virtual Winter Conference Event Series

Write Here, Write Now – RSA Online Writing Sessions
Write Here, Write Now are the RSA's online writing sessions, which run monthly from September - December 2021.

Regions in Recovery
2020 was the most extraordinary of years when conferences have been cancelled or postponed and normal flows of researcher engagement and networking have been heavily disrupted. So, what is the plan for 2021, a year in which we all hope that vaccines will roll out globally and we will slowly see a welcome return to more social interaction? A small number of societies and research-led organisations have come together and agreed that rather than run competing events we will contribute to co-hosting a festival of regional and related research. This multi-partner event will run globally, online from 2nd June - 18th June 2021. Read on to learn more about it.
