NTF and CATE Scheme workshops
On July 3rd we will be hosting a workshop for colleagues and teams who may be interested in applying for a National Teaching Fellowship (NTF) or CATE Award in the future. At this workshop you will find out more about the requirements and evidence needed to develop a NTF or CATE claim, hear more about the support requirements available to applicants and the timeline from developing a claim to submission. There will also be an opportunity to mingle with successful NTFs over coffee and cake.
