We at @ifgacademy.bsky.social have the pleasure of supporting the current cohort of UKRI Policy Fellows via a training programme that sits alongside the fellowships, so we get to see how valuable the fellowships can be- do apply for the next cohort!
My colleague @hannahalothman.bsky.social is in Belfast tonight. This is what she’s seen.
