EVENT DESCRIPTION
Nuffield Foundation is an independent charitable trust with a mission to advance educational opportunity and social well-being. Amongst other activities, we fund research that informs social policy, primarily in our three domains of Education, Welfare and Justice. The Nuffield Foundation Study Tour will provide ARMA members with an opportunity to find out more about the research we support, hear from the Foundation’s staff team in each domain, and explore what makes for a successful application, with opportunities to ask questions. Foundation staff are also keen to discuss with ARMA members how to better support researchers from more diverse background and those at early and mid-career stages.
