RAI Building Closure
With great sadness, because of the ongoing situation with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be closing the institute’s building on Monday 16 March 2020 indefinitely. All in person events are postponed or cancelled. The RAI’s staff will be continuing to work as usual remotely.
The staff will be continuing to work on the RAI’s future programme and current projects, and we do not anticipate anything other than normal service with regard to our publications.
The quickest way to contact any colleague is by email and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
