The RIN is holding this free workshop to raise awareness of the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) as a tool for researchers and to aid understanding of the new access regime. The day will cover how to use FOI to access records and information and how to make successful requests. Case studies will be presented to explore how to use FOI in practice, offering strategies for what works well for particular disciplines and types of research. The workshop follows on a similar and very successful event held in London last year. Full details and registration at http://www.rin.ac.uk/foi-scotland .
