On Tuesday 6th February 2018, Short Course graduates of the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology were invited to attend a free BASIS and FACTS CPD and alumni event at the University’s Risholme campus. 

Senior Lecturer in Agriculture, Simon Goodger started the day by welcoming over 60 delegates, all graduates of LIAT. Attendees were from many local farming industries and farms – BASIS Farmer of the Year 2018 and LIAT graduate, Eric Wright was also there.

Guests received informative talks from industry / University speakers and undertook various workshops throughout the day – all of which accrued an impressive 10 BASIS CPD points!

The day was a great success and will hopefully be the first of many!
