Training

A key part of the GLANAM Initial Training Network (ITN) is a programme of training events including onshore field courses, marine cruises, workshops, skills training and conferences. Details of all of these events will be available from the links here. Many events will be restricted to members of the GLANAM ITN but in some cases there will be opportunities for other self-funding attendees – we will try to advertise these opportunities widely.
