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.
