Experience Day 2022 – three exciting research-focused sessions

Tuesday 13 December

We’re coming together again to showcase and celebrate just how much we achieve when we work together – it’s our collective excellence that really makes us world-leading.

The programme includes three exciting research-focused sessions to attend:

NUAcT Showcase

The Newcastle University Academic Track Fellowship (NUAcT) scheme aims to find and develop our research leaders of the future. Since launching in 2019 the scheme has appointed 57 Fellows across our diverse research areas. The scheme aims to build and support around 100 NUAcT and NUPAcT (Partnership) Fellowships.

Join us for a series of flash talks showcasing the diverse research and fresh perspectives that our NUAcT Fellows bring to Newcastle through enhancing research culture, industry collaboration, interdisciplinary working, training, and development, working in collaboration with Professional Services, public engagement, and open research.

9-10 am Boiler House. Book your space: https://elements.ncl.ac.uk/mod/facetoface/view.php?id=6302

Keynote: Working Together – changing our culture

Hear from Professor Candy Rowe, Dean for Research Culture and Strategy, and colleagues on how we are working in partnership with our community to build a welcoming and empowering research culture. Candy will outline the implementation of the recently launched action plan to support the Research Culture Roadmap. The action plan has been developed with the findings from our first institutional Research Culture Survey, which highlighted themes of collaboration, realising our potential and an inclusive culture. There will also be a chance to hear from colleagues across the University who are contributing to a positive culture.
