Overview: Invitations to Events

Introduction

The Invitations to Events sub-category provides an area where invitations to all other events, not yet mentioned in the previous Invitations to Conferences sub-category, can be listed. This includes demonstrations, even launches, lectures, policy events, press releases, seminars and workshops.

Information may be captured relating to the event type, location, dates, description and whether this is an instance of engaged scholarship.

Each Invitations to Events entry requires at least the Description to be completed.

Each entry is listed by Event and Date/s. There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CVs and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour. This formatting is only used within the eResearch Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
