SUMMARY:Natural History Museum Research Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 2 November\, 10:00-16:00\, Palmer building\, Whiteknights campus \nResearch colleagues are invited to attend an open day to learn how the University and Natural History Museum are aiming to develop research and training together. \nThe University and Natural History Museum will jointly launch the first phase of a long-term research collaboration. They will present initial ideas on how we might develop research and training together\, as well as using the day as a forum for seeking others’ ideas. \nThe collaboration provides significant opportunities for researchers in all disciplines\, whether it be new arts research\, ensuring food security\, tracking genetic responses to climate change or the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. While a link to natural history and/or the NHM collections will be a requirement\, work could involve any discipline. \nAs well as anticipating partnerships across Reading’s scientific research themes\, the Museum’s researchers are enthusiastic about Reading’s expertise in creative approaches to collections and their histories and engagement with intangible cultural heritage. \nSenior figures at the University will be joined at the event by members of the Museum’s senior leadership\, researchers\, laboratory heads and members of their digital\, data and informatics team. \nPlans to move 28 million specimens and research capability to the University’s Thames Valley Science Park were announced in May 2022. Its potential scope is across all NHM collections and research. \nReserve your place \nOpen to University of Reading colleagues only. \nPlease note that spaces are limited so please book your place by 12pm Wednesday 19th October using this online form. Much of the event will be recorded and made available online. Lunch will be provided. \nFor further information\, visit the NHM’s page about their new science and digitisation centre. \nResearch Open Day schedule\n10.00 – 10.30     Refreshments on arrival \n10.30 – 10.45     Welcome and opening remarks (Robert Van de Noort\, Vice-Chancellor) \n10.45 – 11.30     Vision for NHM research and collections\, and the TVSP\, followed by Q&A (Tim Littlewood\, Director of Research\, NHM) \n11.30 – 12.15     Building collaborative research followed by Q&A (Ken Norris\, Deputy Director of Science\, NHM & Phil Newton\, Research Dean) \n12.15 – 12.30     Partnership with University of Reading (Doug Gurr\, Director\, NHM) \n12.30 – 13.30     Networking lunch \n13.30 – 14.30     Parallel Session 1: Science Facilities (NHM Laboratory Heads) \n13.30 – 14.30     Parallel Session 2: Heritage & Creativity: Collections & Culture (John Gibbs / Roberta Gilchrist\, Research Deans & Sandra Knapp\, Collections & Culture Research Lead\, NHM) \n14.30 – 15.15     Opportunities in Digital and Data Science (NHM / University of Reading) \n15.15 – 16.00     Networking opportunity with refreshments \n16.00                  Close

SUMMARY:Posters in the Library
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nDiscover how research at Reading is addressing twenty-first century challenges \nWinners and finalists from the University’s Engagement and Impact Awards 2022 will be discussing their outstanding work during a series of short talks from 12pm each weekday between Tuesday 15 and Friday 18 November. \nThe talks will take place in the library foyer and will be followed by a short Q&A session. Each event will last no longer than 30 minutes. \nThe Engagement and Impact Awards celebrate excellence in our research\, highlighting projects that address real world problems and change the world around us. They recognise individuals and teams at the University who make an outstanding contribution to engaging the wider world with their work and making an impact. In 2022 we received 28 entries from across a wide spectrum of disciplines and from researchers at different stages of their careers. Eleven high-quality applications were selected and four winners chosen. \nEach of the projects that will be presented during Posters in the Library week address a significant challenge and engage individuals\, organisations or communities to bring about positive change locally\, nationally and internationally. \nDetails of the programme are shown below with links to further information on each topic:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nTuesday 15 November\n12pm and 1pm[/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”ids” item=”25176″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1666267070849-b8d74130-335f-4″ include=”25136\, 25143″][vc_column_text] \nWednesday 16 November\n12pm and 1pm[/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”ids” item=”25176″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1666267070850-612b97b3-4c7d-2″ include=”25145\, 25148″][vc_column_text] \nThursday 17 November\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]12pm and 1pm[/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”ids” item=”25176″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1666267070851-be560a67-d4f2-4″ include=”25150\, 25152″][vc_column_text] \nFriday 18 November\n12pm and 1pm[/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”ids” item=”25176″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1666267070852-1e6631a9-d22a-8″ include=”25154\, 25156″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
