I'm working with Liz to curate this programme aimed at raising our expert women's voices. Female colleagues - I would strongly encourage you to consider signing up, whatever level you are at in your career. Male colleagues - please take a moment to think about the talented women you work with, forward this information and encourage them to get involved. Best, L?onie Mathers Head of Public Affairs +44 (0)7973 975 055 | leonie.mathers at nottingham.ac.uk | nottingham.ac.uk/about/government-relations Original email Dear colleague, For those who don't know me I'm Liz Cass, Head of News at the University of Nottingham. As part of celebrations on International Women's Day, our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shearer West, will launch two new initiatives from the Communications and Advocacy team, designed to help boost the visibility of the many talented women at Nottingham who have expertise to share. Why? Because women are still under-represented in the media, especially at the University of Nottingham: last year, not a single one of the 46 broadcasts from our media hub was by a woman Because getting your voice heard helps you move on in your career: research shows that getting across why your work matters is particularly important for mid-career female academics trying to emerge from the shadow of their more senior - often male - research leads. Because gender stereotypes still affect career aspirations among young women: confident women featured in prominent places talking passionately about their research are a great role model for women looking at their future career options The initiatives The Nottingham Women Experts Network will include a series of free events and training, running throughout the year, including: * Practical media training * Speaker sessions with national journalists * Advice on advisory panels and giving evidence to policymakers * How to gain impact from your research * Opportunities to get involved either speaking or writing for the media. If you don't yet know why working in the media or engaging policy makers might have benefits for you in demonstrating your REF impact then please ask me or come along to our first session. Nottingham's Women Experts As part of the launch event I'll be creating a female-only hard-copy version of the Media Guide to Expertise, in conjunction with Nottingham Trent University. This will be shared with media, public policymakers and other stakeholders to help end the excuse that 'there are no women experts' in any given subject. What do I want from you? 1) If you would like to become part of the Nottingham Women Experts Network, please email me on Elizabeth.Cass at nottingham.ac.uk and I will send you the date of the first event - please feel free to also suggest training or events you would like to see, or to invite along other expert women you know. 2) If you aren't already on our Media Guide to Expertise (both the women-only and the general guide) and would like to be, then please complete this form. 3) If you are in the current general guide to expertise but would prefer not to feature in the hard copy version, Nottingham's Women Experts, please email me this week and I will not include your profile.

The article summarises the findings and provides links to more detailed reports and papers. The research suggests that large majorities of researchers have participated in public engagement and are broadly positive about it, while institutions are also shown to be supportive. However, a lack of time, opportunities, funding, and reward are cited as constraints. Meanwhile, public engagement appears more firmly embedded in the arts, humanities and social sciences than it is among STEM researchers. The provision of effective, accessible training is found to be an important precursor to participation in public engagement. The article offers some tactical responses to the findings, but also asks some more challenging questions.
