The TRAC Practitioners Conference will be taking place on-line this year on Tuesday 22nd & Wednesday 23rd September 2026.
Tues. 22nd September - 1pm to 5pm
Weds. 23rd September - 9am to 1pm
As usual, the conference will include a mixture of plenary and breakout sessions and give delegates a thorough overview on the work of the TDG, their activities and of course the latest guidance on TRAC.
The conference will provide valuable insights into TRAC whether you are just beginning your TRAC journey or have been involved for a number of years.
This year we will be hosting a ‘TRAC for Beginners’ session on Wednesday 16th September 10am-12.30pm as part of the conference. This is an optional session and will be particularly valuable for those attending the TRAC Practitioners Conference for the first time. The session will cover off the key principles and ways of working with TRAC in Higher Education and will be interactive, allowing discussion with the facilitator and other attendees (more details below). If you attend this session, a separate MS Teams invite will be sent nearer to the time. Please add a placeholder in your diary in the interim.

Synopsis of pre-conference session (Wed16th September 10am-12.30pm via MS Teams)
TRAC for Beginners
Catherine Jones from the TRAC Support Unit will walk through the basics of TRAC. This session is aimed at those who are new to TRAC. The session will cover a quick look at the TRAC return, what needs to be considered when planning how to meet the deadline, understanding the different data sets required in the TRAC model, an overview of the governance process and a look at Research Facilities and Research Technicians.
This session will be held prior to the conference to allow individuals time to become familiar with the terminology used in TRAC, in order to get more value from the conference.
