This course is hosted by the Digital Influence and Intelligence Lab, DIIL. Housed at the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI), DIIL is a unique consortium of leading academic and private sector partners.

Participants will learn how to develop better influencing strategies, understand and use new analytical methods and tools, have better insight into how digital influence works, and how to assess its value to them and their organisations.

Over 2 days, participants will learn from and share their reflections with leading experts in digital influence from Government, universities and the private sector. This offers a uniquely varied and tailored learning experience with opportunities for engagement with other learners, networking and working to co-create solutions that can be taken back to the workplace.

To qualify, you must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Live in Scotland or the rest of the EU (excluding England, Wales and Northern Ireland) for the last three years for reasons other than education

and at least one of the following conditions:

• Be unemployed (living in Scotland or EU-domiciled)

The course is open to all Scottish-domiciled/EU students, which is consistent with SFC’s policy for core funded student places.
