An Introduction to Full Economic Costs (FEC) and Resolve workshops
The Introduction to Full Economic Costs (FEC) and Resolve Workshops are being run on a regular basis at BSP Hythe Bridge Street (see below for dates). The workshops are PC-based and hands-on and include a practice exercise. Each group has a maximum of six people and there are plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Target Audience:
This is a basic course intended for new administrators, research facilitators, finance officers or any departmental staff who need to have an understanding of Full Economic Costs (FEC) and who need hands-on experience of using Resolve.
