Dear all,
We would like to invite you to The Open University Westminster Showcase, an event dedicated to Parliamentary staff members. The event will be held on Thursday 14th November, 1.15-3pm in the Attlee Suite, Portcullis House, Westminster. Refreshments will be available.
The event is an opportunity to find out how The Open University (OU) can support you in your day-to-day work in Parliament and in the constituency, the free resources you can share with constituents and local businesses as well as the free learning and development opportunities available.
On the day you can:
- Learn about the free OU research and insights available to use when you’re writing briefing notes, policy documents or speeches.
- Explore our free learning and development opportunities available to you and constituents.
- Hear about the free OU insights local businesses and public services can access to support them with skills development and workforce planning.
- Have a go at an online experiment via our Queen’s Anniversary award winning OpenSTEM Labs which enables OU students to access scientific equipment wherever in the world they are studying.
- Network and meet colleagues from across parliament and the research and think-tank sectors.
- Discover what Mars smells like…
The OU plays a significant role in local communities across the UK, with OU students based in every local area – including in the constituency you support.
Please RSVP and let us know if on the day you would like to collect a copy of your Constituency Profile, which includes useful facts and stats on the number of OU students in your constituency and their demographics.
All parliamentary staff members are welcome so please do share this invitation with anyone you think might like to attend.
We look forward to seeing you there.
