I was recently in attendance at an in-person conference where we were treated to a wonderful presentation by closer.ac.uk and the Common's librarian on longitudinal research and policy briefings. That marvelous event was on 18 September. Now, we're in early November, and thanks to the courteousness of the events manager at Understanding Society (part of ISER in Essex), I have gracefully been accepted into Essex's 2-day workshop on 21 & 22 November. If you would like to register to attend this workshop event (I think it's kind of late but please do reach out if you have an interest) you can find details on my online calendar.

Attendance at workshops is a nicety, and is more or less complementary to a few MSc modules, as I have to do a bit of research around an integrated topic: cohort and longitudinal studies (evidence-based management, essentially). Interestingly, as a requisite for registration, I was advised by Understanding Society to register at the UK Data Archive, something I first discovered in 2008/09 while I was a fresh-faced student at Essex Business School. It is a way of demonstrating to yourself and others that you know your way around.
