Find out how to set up a Masterclass and become part of our network of organisers.
No face-to-face Masterclass series are currently running, but we are working with local collaborators to pilot online Masterclasses in some areas. You can get in touch to find out more about opportunities to get involved with Masterclasses.
Local volunteers are pivotal to every Masterclass series. We commonly work with schools, universities and STEM organisations as well as groups of local volunteers to set up and run Masterclass series for students in their area. We offer guidance and support with every part of the process of running a Masterclass series and are always keen to talk to potential contributors.
A Masterclass series will need:
Please get in touch to discuss this in more detail. We recommend forming a committee to share the work of organising a series and to ensure sustainability.
The Ri provides tailored support to both new and existing groups. This includes sample materials, access to Masterclass speakers, and guidance on issues such as finding funding.
We have a dedicated webpage exclusively for Masterclass organisers full of templates and other resources to help run their series.
We can help you work with local partners to start an organising committee and we offer advice and support on involving schools and local speakers. We also provide Ri branded materials for use within the Masterclass series, including special attendance certificates for the Masterclass students. We are able to provide bilingual Welsh/English certificates to our groups in Wales.
There are opportunities to meet other organisers and volunteers from across the Masterclass network; we encourage local groups to work together to share speakers and other ideas and resources. There is a special biennial event at the Ri to celebrate our organisers and other contributors.
Please get in touch to find out more about what is on offer.
