SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Climate Change - Turning up the Heat on our Health
DESCRIPTION:We all know that climate change is damaging our planet – but what about us? Our hearts\, lungs and other vital organs are damaged by air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels\, and climate change worsens this effect. Vulnerable people\, including the elderly\, are at risk from extreme heatwaves like the one we saw in 2017 – and climate science predicts that these events will happen more often in future as the world warms. \nIn this lecture\, Environmental Economist Elizabeth Robinson brings together stories and observations with hard data to show the impact of climate change on human health over time. Building on her involvement in The Lancet Countdown\, which tracks the positive health benefits of the world’s efforts to reduce climate change\, she makes a powerful argument for keeping climate change in check – not just for the planet’s sake\, but for the sake of our health. \nElizabeth Robinson is Professor of Environmental Economics at the School of Agriculture\, Policy\, and Development at the University of Reading. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.

SUMMARY:Research Impact (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Research Staff Development Opportunities. \nThis session is aimed at all research staff within all disciplines. It will introduce the topic of Research Impact\, the good that our research has on the world outside academia\, and outline its importance and the steps that can be taken to achieve it. The Research Impact Team will work with you to understand the impact that your research could have\, the stakeholders that would be interested in your work (including organisations\, policy makers and the general public) and how to approach them and finally how to plan to gather evidence to support impact claims. Pathways to Impact (part of RCUK grant applications) will also be covered. This session will be tailored to suit academics with developed\, developing or potential research impact.

SUMMARY:University of Reading Engagement and Impact Awards
DESCRIPTION:From securing African farmers’ futures to building the confidence of Reading mums who’ve been out of the job market for a while\, 12 research projects making a real-world impact have been shortlisted for the University of Reading’s Research Engagement and Impact Awards. The winners will be announced at an Awards ceremony on 25 June\, and University colleagues\, stakeholders and anyone with an interest in our research is warmly invited to attend. \nEntries were whittled down to the top 12 by a panel including Professor Parveen Yaqoob\, Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation. Judges were impressed by the quality and breadth of the applications. \nSpanning climate science\, education\, law\, design\, global development and computer science\, the shortlist represents a broad cross-section of Reading research benefiting people locally\, nationally and globally. \n \nOne of the selected projects\, ‘Marvellous mums’ supports local\, less socially advantaged women\, many of whom have been out of work for some time. The programme\, led by Professor Carol Fuller\, is boosting women’s confidence and self-esteem and empowering them to make changes that will help them develop more fulfilling lives for themselves and their families. \nAnd on an international scale\, millions of small-holder farmers across Africa can now look forward to a more secure future thanks to satellite-derived estimates of rainfall that are helping insurance companies provide effective cover against drought. That’s thanks to the TAMSAT project\, led by Professor Emily Black\, which allows farmers to get weather-index insurance that pays out if cumulative rainfall drops below a pre-agreed threshold\, even if their farm is a long way from a rain gauge. \nThe full list of shortlisted projects is: \n\nEmily Black – Drought insurance using TAMSAT rainfall estimates\nTony Capstick – Language for resilience in refugee settings\nJoanna Clark – Loddon Catchment Consultancy (GV2LCC)\nRebecca Emerton and Andrea Ficchi – Real-time flood briefings for humanitarian emergency response to cyclones in Mozambique\nFederico Faloppa – Leading Amnesty International’s task force against hate speech in Italy\nJames Ferryman – Biometrics Research Leads to Frictionless and More Secure Border Crossings\nCarol Fuller – Marvellous Mums/Marvellous Me\nRosa Freedman – Safeguarding Children from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Conflict and Crisis Zones\nHilary Geoghegan – Opening up science for all (OPENER)\nChristopher Newdick – Priority Setting in the NHS\nNatthapoj VincentTrakulphadetkrai – Maths through stories\nSue Walker – Information design\, architecture\, pharmacy: getting the message across about AMR\n\n  \nAt the Awards ceremony there will be an opportunity to learn more about the shortlisted projects through quickfire 2-minute presentations and posters from the shortlisted researchers and there will be an address from guest speaker Paul Manners\, Director of the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement. The event will be hosted by Professor Parveen Yaqoob\, Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation. \nRegister to attend \nWatch a film of last year’s winners \nFind out more about the Research Impact and Engagement Awards.
