Event Details

As our Study Tours are extremely popular and book out very quickly, we request that you submit an expression of interest to attend via our online tool. The list will close on Friday 2 August 2019. The delegates will then be randomly selected and notified by Friday 9 August 2019 if they have received a place on the Study Tour.

ARMA’s Study Tours are free one-day events which are hosted by a research funder, learned society, government department or relevant partner for our members.

Our Study Tours provide a unique forum for funders and similar organisations to disseminate information aimed specifically at topics of interest to members. At the same time, Tours facilitate opportunities for networking and debate, giving our members the opportunity to ask searching questions, and hosting organisations the opportunity to test out new ideas, using our members as a very useful sounding board.
