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!
The 12th July is just over a month away and the lead up starts weeks before. If the UK government and NI executive don't get a grip on this asap it will roll into July, and escalate in Northern Ireland. This is a real test of leadership for both.
