SUMMARY:Insights into winning (and losing) grants as an early career researcher
DESCRIPTION:Insights into winning (and losing) grants as an early career researcher \nPhil Davies \nHenley Research Grant Webinar \nPhil Davies has recently won an EPSRC grant worth ~£100k alongside an industrial partner and has recently seen his ESRC New Investigators Grant (worth roughly ~£300k) pass review and make it to panel. Whilst Phil has now had a success and passed the first round of another grant\, Phil also has a few losses from which he can share his experience. The purpose of this webinar is therefore to give ECRs\, or anyone new to grant writing\, insight into the grant writing process\, what makes a successful grant and what doesn’t and some lessons learnt from winning and losing grants to support your grant bids going forward. Phil will also highlight a number of resources he found particular useful in writing his grants.  \nThe webinar will be roughly 20-30 minutes of presentation following by 30-40 minutes of Q&A \n  \nIf you wish to join the webinar\, please contact Jana Oslejova for an invite in Teams. \n  \nJana Oslejova \nDepartment Administrator—International Business and Strategy \nHenley Business School\, University of Reading \nj.oslejova@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Breaking the Class Ceiling in UK Publishing: Online talk with Professor Katy Shaw
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this talk on class in contemporary publishing with Professor Katy Shaw (Northumbria University) \nA Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing  event \nThe under-representation of British working-class writers in UK publishing has been identified as a major social and economic challenge by major publishers and the British government. In 2018 Arts Council England funded the first ever writing development programme aimed at redressing the balance for working-class writers. This talk evaluates the impact of this unique initiative on both creatives and the creative industries in the UK\, as well as on wider industry awareness of the presence and impact of the class ceiling in UK publishing. It assesses for the first time the impact of a targeted class-based writing development programme on creatives and the creative industries in the UK\, as well as on professional awareness of the challenge posed by the class ceiling in the wider UK creative industries today\, and proposes new initiatives and recommendations arising from the research through implications for writers\, readers and the future sustainability of British publishing in a post-Brexit context. \nPlease join the conversation here through Microsoft Teams with video off and on mute. We will use the chat function for questions and debate.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Indicators of changing climate risk in the UK - Professor Nigel Arnall
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend here \nAbstract: \nIn order to increase resilience to climate change it is necessary to understand climate risks and how they are likely to change in the future. This seminar presents a summary of the Climate Risk Indicators project (involving the University of Reading\, CEH Wallingford and the University of Leeds)\, which is calculating a series of indicators relevant to policymakers in the UK at national and local levels. The selected indicators represent a range of thresholds for decisions and consequences across many sectors\, including water resources\, flooding\, transport\, health\, agriculture and emergency planning. The indicators are calculated with UKCP18 climate projections\, and presented both for low and high emissions and at different levels of forcing\, and are presented at a range of spatial scales. The seminar will describe the indicators and their uses in policy.  \nThis is the first in a series of webinars organised by the UK Climate Resilience Programme – see the full programme.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Methods for Random Matrix Theory and Applications: LMS-CMI Research School
DESCRIPTION:LMS-CMI Research School\nMethods for Random Matrix Theory and Applications \nOrganised by the London Mathematical Society and the Clay Mathematics Institute\, this research school is aimed at postgraduate students and at interested mathematicians\, both in the UK and abroad. \nRandom matrix theory (RMT) is a crossroad of modern mathematics. It brings together and provides a platform for fusing the ideas of such diverse areas as the theory of special functions\, orthogonal polynomials\, complex analysis\, operator theory\, representation of affine algebras and quantum group\, enumerative topology\, combinatorics\, number theory\, exactly solvable quantum models\, quantum chaos and string theory. Simultaneously\, RMT plays an increasingly important role in many applied sciences and technologies. Indeed\, the distributions of random matrix theory govern statistical properties of the large systems which do not obey the usual laws of classical probability. \nThough the random matrices  have been long studied for their applications to multivariable statistics since the work of Wishart and in physics for its application to the level-spacing of highly excited energy levels of nuclei since the work of Wigner\, Dyson and others\, there has in recent years been a renewed significant interest in this subject. Some of the main reasons for this are: (a) The discovery that a large class of random matrix models are related to completely integrable systems of differential equations of both the Painlevé type  and those of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP); (b) The relation of the theory of random matrices to the theory of Hankel and Toeplitz determinants; (c) The development of the novel technique – the Riemann-Hilbert method\, which yields the solution of a number of the long-standing problems in the field; (d) The discovery of the remarkable fact that the random matrices and the nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs demonstrate  the same universal features at the relevant critical  and transition regimes. These topics as well as some other important aspects of random matrix theory will be covered in the three lecture courses (five hours each) and in the invited lectures (one hour each). \n  \n11 to 15 May 2020 at the University of Reading\nFunded by the London Mathematical Society\, the Clay Mathematics Institute and the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research\nOrganized by Igor Krasovsky and Jani A. Virtanen\nContact: j.a.virtanen@reading.ac.uk
