Those interested in organising a short course should read the notes for organisers (below) and consult the Short Course Facilitator Dr Riaz Ahmad (facilitator [at] lms [dot] ac [dot] uk) in the first instance.

The notes below are intended to provide a prospective organiser with an idea of what is expected from a Short Instructional Course, guidance in preparing a proposal, and information about the practicalities of running a course. We welcome proposals which have academic validity but vary from this template, either in style or number of attendees.
