Wednesday 2 November, 10:00-16:00, Palmer building, Whiteknights campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research 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.<\/p>\n

The 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\u2019 ideas.<\/p>\n

The collaboration provides significant opportunities for researchers in all disciplines<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

As well as anticipating partnerships across Reading\u2019s scientific research themes, the Museum\u2019s researchers are enthusiastic about Reading\u2019s expertise in creative approaches to collections and their histories and engagement with intangible cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Senior figures at the University will be joined at the event by members of the Museum\u2019s senior leadership, researchers, laboratory heads and members of their digital, data and informatics team.<\/p>\n

Plans to move\u00a028 million specimens and research capability<\/a>\u00a0to the University\u2019s Thames Valley Science Park were announced in May 2022. Its potential scope is across all NHM collections and research.<\/p>\n

Reserve your place<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open to University of Reading colleagues only.<\/p>\n

Please note that spaces are limited so please book your place by 12pm Wednesday 19th October using this online form<\/a>.<\/strong> Much of the event will be recorded and made available online. Lunch will be provided.<\/p>\n

For further information, visit the NHM\u2019s page about their\u00a0new science and digitisation centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n
