Every month we invite all network staff to join for a virtual meeting to hear the latest updates and ask questions as we transition and transform into the Research Delivery Network (RDN). 

Please do accept the meeting invites when you receive them and do your best to attend so you can keep up to date. However, if you do miss any meetings we will record them and make the latest recordings available via this page.

Submitting questions

We want to hear from you at these meetings, and to make sure we cover what you want to know.

Where possible please submit questions in advance via the RDN microsite Google form. This will give us the best chance to plan for the meeting and hopefully have an answer ready for you.

We'll also update our RDN Questions and Answers page on this site following these meetings.
