Thank you for your interest in YCEDE. The project concluded on 31 March 2026. We will not be running any future events or funding opportunities, but our partners continue to provide support for future and current postgraduate researchers through our Inclusive Research Network. During 2026, we will continue to add materials to our YCEDE Toolkit and monitor our email account: info@ycede.ac.uk.
