NCACE offers an open programme across our key areas of work.

We warmly welcome individuals and institutions to engage and collaborate with us. Join us for leadership workshops, ideas pools, policy discussions, peer to peer networking and information sharing sessions and more. Ongoing activities include: our Knowledge Impacts Network (KIN) and Evidence Cafes, our annual showcasing conference in March and our annual policy event in June. We held our first Festival of Cultural Knowledge Exchange in October 2022 and plan another in 2024.
