Open calls and events

What is happening, and when.

Everything FRT runs, supports or takes part in, with the dates attached. An entry stays on this page after it happens rather than disappearing, because a record of what an organization actually delivered is worth more than a list of what it intends to.

Calendar

Nothing is currently scheduled

FRT runs an annual cycle of workshops, cohorts, a conference and a poster competition. Dates are published here with each call. Join the mailing list and you will hear when the next one opens.

The record

Previously held

Events that have taken place, with whatever material FRT holds from each. An entry that names an event but shows no photographs is waiting on images the secretariat has not yet cleared for publication — not on an event that did not happen.
