This national network aims to mobilise the collective experience and skills of PEPS and support their career development. It will provide access to the latest thinking and expertise about engagement policy and practice, offer opportunities for CPD and training, support members to share solutions and problems, and establish peer support mechanisms. Between June and September, we're hosting a number of free 'taster' events for prospective members. Who's it for? This network is aimed at public engagement professionals (or PEPs) in higher education institutions across the UK. That is, people who work in professional services roles with responsibility for coordinating, or supporting public engagement within their institution, whether this is a part of their formal job title or not. This group, often referred to as public engagement 'enablers' or 'brokers', face a series of common and often unique challenges in working to support the embedding of high quality public engagement within higher education institutions, and often work in quite isolated contexts. How will it work? The PEP network will be focused around an annual calendar of face-to-face events held across the UK regions. Each event will provide a mixture of formal CPD - tailored for members at a variety of career stages and with a variety fo roles; structured networking and skills sharing; and, a chance to hear from the NCCPE and other invited experts about the latest developments in the sector. In between these face-to-face events we will provide an online space where you can connect with peers and catch up on the learning from any events you've missed. We will also encourage and facilitate additional local and regional meetings. How do I get involved? Before we formally launch the network at the start of the 2018-19 academic year, we plan to hold a number of free PEP Network taster events across the UK between June and September for those interested in being a part of this network. There are three ways to get involved, register for one of our planned events, offer to host another taster event, or register your interest in the network. We have planned the following taster events: * Belfast - 11th June * Cardiff - 19th June * Glasgow - 19th June (as part of the ScotPEN Annual Meeting for Public Engagement Professionals in Higher Education and Research) * Manchester - 10th July Register for a taster event If you'd like us to hold a taster event in your area: Offer to host a taster event If you can't come to any of these events but would like to express your interest in becoming a member and want to keep up to date with the latest plans: Register your interest in the PEP Network You can find out more or read about the results of our consultation in our summary brief.

Please see the information below and the link to register is here. I hope to see some of you there, and please do get in touch if you would like any more information. Institute of Physics summit: Girls in A-level physics Thursday 17 May 11:00 ? 13:30 (refreshments from 12:45) One Birdcage Walk, London, SW1H 9JJ The Institute of Physics is delighted to invite you to a summit to explore why the proportion of girls taking physics at A-level in England has remained close to 20% for the last three decades. This will be considered in the context of the UK?s skills needs, the Government?s new industrial strategy and how we can achieve gender equity in society. At the summit, IOP Chief Executive Paul Hardaker will present findings from our new report sponsored by the National Grid which looks at the latest data on girls progressing to physics at A-level. This summit presents a unique opportunity for a pivotal discussion on the equality of opportunity in physics and STEM, and a reflection on our work and others to date. Speakers will include author Angela Saini, The Royal Institution?s Fran Scott, and representatives from the National Grid and IOP. The panel discussion will be chaired by Valerie Jamieson, Editorial Content Director at New Scientist. The summit will bring together experts from industry, the education sector and policy makers for a discussion with experts and policymakers on the barriers to inclusivity in physics and STEM. We will also look forward to what work remains to be done to remove the barriers to physics and STEM for the benefit of individuals, the economy and society as a whole. There will be opportunity for Q&A with the speakers, and refreshments will be served after the event. Please register for the event at this link by Wednesday 9 May. If you require any further information about the event, please contact the policy team at policy at iop.org Best wishes, Flo Florence Greatrix Policy Officer Institute of Physics 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT Email: florence.greatrix at iop.org Direct tel: +44 (0)207 470 4825 ________________________________ This email (and attachments) are confidential and intended for the addressee(s) only.

Please accept my apologies for cross-posting, inbox clogging and excessive email length find below the first of a series of quarterly updates to interested (or indeed the occasional uninterested) colleagues about development of the University of Nottingham Institute. This is intended for an internal audience only, so please only forward to colleagues ... I've broken up this update into the four strands of work I have in my remit as Interim Director, working 0.5FTE on this from Feb until August.

And finally... * The best three blogs I've read this month... * Quick reflections on the first couple of months... Update on activity Feb - April 2018 1.0 Implementation a) INTERNAL: Finances and workplan update - changes Following a review of the Research Strategy finances, the budget and implementation programme for the Institute was reconfigured, with the Interim workplan then signed off late last month with changes to 18-19 FY expenditure, by the PVC RKE, the University's Chief Marketing and Comms Officer and the Director of Research and Innovation. However, with the support of Research and Innovation, whilst there will be a significant drop in non-pay funds for next year, all posts (5x FTE) in the Institute will be supported. I will be working with colleagues across the Institution to try and replace these funds from other internal and external sources. b) INTERNAL: Recruitment update Recruitment of the permanent Director has been completed and an announcement is expected soon, with myself and other panel members extremely pleased by the calibre of the field. The recruitment of the Head of Global Policy Impact post (APM5 - JD attached) has been successfully recruited to, subject to final checks. We expect the role-holder to start in June - and are very pleased with the appointee. I have been working with RCUK and NCCPE to shape the Head of Public Engagement post, which is now going through HR ahead of recruitment. The Institute Coordinator and Administrator posts will be recruited to later this spring, with a view to having the team together ready for the next academic year. Finally, Madalina Stalniceanu in the Public and Political Affairs Unit has been providing vital project and administrative support to the development of the Institute and will now do so in a more formal capacity over the coming months working as 0.5FTE APM3. c) INTERNAL: Working with the University of Nottingham Impact Accelerator I have been working with Susan Huxtable and her team, who have been hugely supportive of the Institute. In particular, we have agreed to align a proportion of the impact funding that will be secured and then allocated internally from the research councils, to policy impact and public engagement. Following the budget reconfiguration, this will provide the Institute with some non-pay funds to support policy impact and public engagement activity across the Faculties. It will also allow the Institute to find efficiencies between different pots of funding and target support more strategically and ambitiously across the whole institution. Following its launch in late March, for this FY year, the NIA has asked the Institute to develop a ?3k for policy impact travel support and allocate ?22k via the Public Engagement Network for public engagement with research funding. This was announced at the launch event by Sir John Peace last month - and I was able to speak to colleagues at this event about the fund. It has subsequently been published to all REF Impact leads in Faculty and Schools. d) INTERNAL: A home for the Institute... The Institute will be moving in alongside the Rights Lab, CAS and the Graduate School into Highfield House. The office for the Institute will initially be B13, which will (just about) hold three people. We will be working with Estates and other colleagues to develop a solution for the next Academic Year. More widely, we will be working alongside the Rights Lab and External Relations to ensure that branding and signage for the space clearly signals Highfield House as the home of the Institute and the activity it represents. The Institute's events will take place all over campus, but there will be a focus on developing a high-profile series of activity for internal and external audiences from out of Highfield that will begin this year. e) INTERNAL: Branding, naming, logo and website A new name for the Institute (it was decided to change the World Institute concept) was selected and a composite logo development. Please try, where possible, to not acronymise the Institute as it undermines people knowing what it does, or that it's associated with the University. Once I've used the full name, in short-hand I am just calling it the University of Nottingham Institute or just The Institute. Clearly, as is so often the case in Universities, choosing the name has been a challenging process - and a compromise has had to be reached. However, I am confident that the activity of the Institute will start to speak for itself - but this start-up phase is always tricky... so anything you can do to help us here is much appreciated. Work on the Institute's look and feel, web-presence and digital presence will begin in May. f) EVENT: University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus Workshops - 02 and 03 May I will be out in Malaysia delivering the launch of the University's Reputation Campaign in KL during Going Global. Together with PVC RKE Dame Jessica Corner and UNMC's new VP RKE, Prof Deb Hall, I will be delivering a series of workshops to introduce UNMC researchers to the Institute, what it can do for them and find out more about what public engagement and policy impact is taking place out of UNMC. Contact Anita.Pathma at nottingham.edu.my if you are interested in attending. Timings likely to be 2pm - 4pm on Weds and more slots on Thursday at UNMC. g) EVENT: University of Nottingham: Engaged (The Annual Institute Policy and Public Engagement Conference) 17 September 2018 Following on from two years of sold-out internal conferences focusing on both policy impact and public engagement, the Institute's Annual Internal Conference is being developed by a project group of 10 volunteers from across the University for 17th September. The conference is being co-curated with the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement, the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, the Institute for Government, the Parliamentary Information and Outreach Service and On Thinktanks. We expect an audience of between 100-150 academics. Rachel Wolf, former Senior Policy Adviser for Education to the Prime Minister and Founding CEO of political consultancy Public First is confirmed as our keynote. h) INTERNAL: Mapping policy impact and public engagement resources across the University One of the trickiest things to find out when building the business case for the Institute was where resource and remit to support policy impact and public engagement exists across the Institution. In many cases it's part of someone's role - and therefore not necessarily an area of a dedicated expertise. Part of the purpose of the Institute was to help these individuals (and researchers) more easily find each other, to link them into a network of best practice and provide them with support and training with which they can then pass on at the local level. As such, we have begun to re-map colleagues across the Institution who have part of their role focus on policy impact (currently 49 that we know of) or public engagement (currently 73) support. We will be contacting these individuals over the coming months to ask them to set out what they can do, and who they can do it for. We will then keep this information on a Editable Prezi visualisation, which colleagues and Institute can edit and keep up to-date as a live document. i) INTERNAL: Institute Operational Executive established The Institute's business model is predicated on aligning its activity with the priorities of Faculties, APM Depts and to support delivery of the Research Strategy more effectively through mutual activity. As such, a small 'operational executive' drawn from Faculty impact and research strategy managers + other colleagues from across the Uni, has been formed to support the development of practical remit of the Institute. The group will meet once every two months and its first meeting will look at how the Institute will support the development REF Impact case-studies focused on policy and public engagement. ---------- 2.0 Global policy engagement and impact a) INITIATIVE: Beacon Challenge Policy Enquiries The Institute will be seeking to work with the Beacons to develop and run a series of short Beacon Challenge Policy Enquiries. The format and focus of these Enquiries is being mulled over at the moment - but as a minimum, they would be co-curated with a policy partner and act as a short campaign, aiming to produce a number of impact and engagement outputs, as well as help frame some of the big picture challenges that the Beacons are set up to provide Nottingham solutions to. I will be looking to work with a couple of Beacons in the first instance to shape this pilot. b) FUNDING: Policy Impact Train Fare Fund Using a small pot of available funding via HEIF from the Nottingham Impact Accelerator for this FY, we have decided to create a small fund just ?3k to run up to the 31st July 2018 that we hope will address one of the more intransigent barriers to UoN academics engaging with policymakers to support the wider impact of their research: specifically, the expense of getting peak time trains to-and-from Nottingham to both London and Swindon. Some researchers can find pots of money in their research grants to fund travel... but this isn't true for everyone - and it has been raised frequently by researchers at Nottingham and other universities in the North/ Midlands We will try and target this fund at those working on policy-facing REF Impact Case Studies and those working with R&I on Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund Wave 3 themed activity. We will then open it up to the 700 members of the Nottingham Policy Impact and Research Network. More info about the PITFF is attached - and the application form is at: http://workspace.nottingham.ac.uk/display/CandM/Policy+Impact+Train+Fare+Fund+2017-2018 c) EVENT: University of Institute Policy Masterclass Lecture Series - first event 18 June, Stian Westlake, Senior Policy Adviser to Minister for Universities and Science Stian Westlake is the Universities and Science Minister's Sam Gyimah MP's Director of Policy - but also a NESTA fellow. He is the co-author of a book with Professor Jonathan Haskell of Imperial of Capitalism Without Capital: The Rise of the Intangible Economy, which has been extremely well reviewed. The Vice-Chancellor has very kindly agreed to introduce this lecture, which will be held at 6pm on Monday 18th June at the new home of the Institute, Highfields House. Sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/policy-masterclass-lecture-by-stian-westlake-tickets-45969479952 The event will be delivered by Lakeside Arts, as the first of a series of joint initiatives between them and the Institute that combines their event delivery expertise and reach into the local community with the Institute's strategic focus. d) EVENTS: University of Nottingham Global Dialogues Hong Kong and Thailand 2018 The Political and Public Affairs Unit launched the 'University of Nottingham Global Dialogues' event series in at Nottingham in Parliament Day and the British Consulate in Hong Kong in October 2016. Since then, there have been numerous events, developed with academic colleagues and APM departments across the University, but united by their focus on bringing University of Nottingham researchers together with policymaker and industry to discuss topics of global significance. The audiences are similarly diverse, with alumni, students, our local community, academia, policy and industry all coming together to attend; reinforcing the University's reputation as a global convenor of ideas and people. This May, the first formally-run Institute run Global Dialogues event took place in Bangkok, Thailand at the Residence of the British Ambassador in partnership with both the FCO and British Council. The speaker line up, including VC Professor Shearer West, is stellar and the topic is Ideas vs borders: can universities continue to be global in the new geopolitical era? Last week, CARO ran the second Hong Kong Global Dialogues, with the VC and Prof Michele Clarke convening an expert panel of Hong Kong-based practitioners and research to discuss Sustainability and Smart Cities with a sell-out audience of alumni. [cid:image004.jpg at 01D3EED4.1E10C7D0] e) TBC EVENT: Nick Bloom + Bank of England event and dinner at Asia House, June/ July 2018 Working with Professor Paul Bloom and the School of Economics to leverage a visit from his Stanford collaborator on a major ESRC and ONS project to model the macroeconomic uncertainty effect of Brexit on businesses with the Bank of England. Plan is to hold an event followed by a high-level policy-maker dinner using the University's flagship partnership with Asia House (jointly supported by External Relations and the Office for Global Engagement) and their exceptional corporate networks. f) EVENT: Launch of the University of Nottingham Asia Research Institute 12 June 2018 Again using the University's Asia House Partnership, the Institute is supporting the rebrand and relaunch of IAPS as the University of Nottingham Asia Research Institute, led by Professor Katharine Adeney in the UK. Both Institutes will join forces to deliver a series of policymaker afternoon roundtables at Asia House focusing on topics like Belt and Road. This will be followed by an evening launch reception and debate, with Professor Adeney Chairing a panel that includes BBC China Editor Carrie Gracie, Lord Desai and Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade, Barry Gardiner MP. The Political and Public Affairs Unit are supporting the development of the event. The evening will also mark the launch of... g) INITIATIVE: Development of Asia Expertise directory - online and print Working with ABC, the Universities Media team and the Political and Public Affairs Unit, the Institute is looking to build on the success of the recent Women's Expertise Guide by creating an online and hard-copy resource of the University research and impact expertise on Asia. This will, for the first time, bring together and effectively present the University's expertise in this space in a manner accessible by policymakers, industry partners and the media. The brochure and website will also improve the articulation of how these external audience can work with the University - and there will be a wide-ranging communications and dissemination strategy for the document and website. h) TRAINING: Policy Impact as a Campaign: university-wide training programme being developed with On ThinkTanks - global network of policy institutes Launching in September, we will working with On ThinkTanks a global network of policy institute professionals, External Relations and R&I to develop a bespoke series of in-person and online training courses for University of Nottingham staff. One of these will be aimed at the over 100 members of staff who have some proportion of their remit devoted to supporting researchers with policy impact and public engagement. The other will be aimed at Beacon Directors and other senior academic staff, including Impact Leads and Centre Directors. Both courses will be centred around thinking as Policy Impact as a Campaign... much like professional think-tanks across the world do, and will provide all participants with the tools and understanding to know what excellent looks like in this space. i) EVENT: Civic University Commission evidence session in Nottingham, 22nd June 2018, with Lord Bob Kerslake Following Nottingham in Parliament Day in 2016, the University of Nottingham has been working with other universities, UUK and the UPP Foundation to create the Civic University Commission, a national policy exercise that will examine the what the future of 'the civic university' looks like in the UK and beyond. Essentially, if you were creating a new civic university today, what would it do in order to make it civic? On 22nd June, the Commission will visit Nottingham to engage with external stakeholders, university staff and partners from both the University and NTU. The themes of the visit will be 'the civic value of being globally connected' and 'the future civic role of university education'. More information is attached. h) TRAINING: Nottingham Women Expert Network: Sharing your expertise in Parliament - 11th May 2018 Supported by the Institute, but led by External Relations, this was a free event aimed primarily at female members of staff (though open to all colleagues) of the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University as part of the Nottingham Women Expert Network. The event focused on giving evidence in formal settings, such as Select Committees, with the aim of helping female academics become more confident at sharing their expertise in policy environments. Our guest speakers were Lilian Greenwood, Labour MP for Nottingham South, and Professor Sarah Sharples, Associate Faculty Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research & Knowledge Exchange and Professor of Human Factors in the Faculty of Engineering. ---------- 3.0 Public Engagement a) INTERNAL: Public Engagement webpages created One of the major issues raised by external funders and internal colleagues alike was the lack of a single set of University hub-pages for Public Engagement. These need to, at a minimum, set-out how we've spent funding and delivered on priorities, sign-post external and internal colleagues to resources and information and promote relevant opportunities and initiatives. Madalina Stalniceanu has worked with the Nottingham Public Engagement Network Executive to create these pages - which are currently based on the Government Relations webpages, but will move to the Research Pages when they are revamped later this year. The link is: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/about/government-relations/public-engagement/public-engagement.aspx b) FUNDING: Public engagement funding 17-18... Using the aforementioned NIA funding for this year, the University's Public Engagement Network Executive has chosen 4 projects of strategic importance that can quickly spend this funding before 31st July. In our decision-making we were conscious that Wonder is not taking place this year, and so we have tried to choose initiatives for funding that deliver some of the benefits of that. The projects are supporting a "University of Nottingham Wonder at Riverside Festival", a research showcase at Lakeside Wheee! Festival, and funding for a Widening Participation Family Discovery Day on Campus on 16th June. Sam Tang and Clare Anderton are convening a project group. c) EVENT: Festival of Science and Curiosity 2018... report With the support of Faculty Pro-Vice Chancellor for Science, Professor Kevin Shakesheff, the Institute provided a small amount of direct funding and in-kind support via External Relations to deliver a step-change in the Festival of Science and Curiosity delivered with Ignite Futures, Nottingham City Council and Nottingham Trent University. The Festival took place across Nottingham City Centre, but also in libraries and communities across some of Nottingham's most socially-deprived areas such as Attercliffe, Bilborough and Clifton. The funding helped develop a clear brand for the Festival, promote it via buses across the city, support events taking place out of the city centre and help fund the post-event impact analysis - which will form the basis of any future application for support. 40 University of Nottingham researchers took part in the Festival, with 3000 separate engagements taking place - roughly double last year. A summary report is attached. Prof Susan Anderson and Kevin will be putting together a new proposal to support the Festival moving forward. d) EVENT: Reimagining the University of Nottingham's approach to public engagement - workshop Last December, the Institute held a workshop for 70 of the University's public engagement practitioners and external partners to try and understand more about what we already did across the University, what we didn't do, what the barriers and opportunities were - and then to turn all of this into a preliminary University of Nottingham Public Engagement Strategic Approach. We worked with Steve Cross, former Director of Public Engagement at UCL and founder of Bright Club and Science Showoff science stand-ups - as well as some local illustrators to run the workshop. With over 1000 post-it notes plastered onto the walls of the Winter Gardens - the attached report and illustration demonstrates the huge breadth of public engagement activity currently taking place at Nottingham... [cid:image005.jpg at 01D3EED4.1E10C7D0] e) EVENT: University of Nottingham Malaysia Public Engagement and Science Communication lunch in Petronas Towers, with Sir Martyn Poliakoff and FameLab As part of the Institute's world-wide remit and focus, this May will see the Institute teaming up with Petrosains, the FCO and the British Council to run an event with External Relations, the Office for Global Engagement and UNMC at the Petronas Towers. Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff will be talking to about 130 public engagement practitioner and science communicators from across Malaysia and ASEAN, including the winners and finalists of FameLab. Martyn also be supported the University's Reputation Campaign for Malaysia by doing a series of other talks, demos and workshops during this week, which will be attended by literally hundreds of school children, teachers, students and researchers. He also undertook a very special experiment at the top of the Petronas Towers with the British High Commissioner, Her Excellency Vicki Treadell MVO CMG, as his technical assistant. The link to the Institute event is here... https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/global-science-communication-lunch-and-exchange-with-sir-martyn-poliakoff-tickets-45337058362 and the invite is attached. For images of these events, check out the twitter hashtag #UNMworld and #UoNEngaged f) INITIATIVE: University of Nottingham Research Superheroes - Spiderwoman comes to the rescue of Midlands Innovation! A late-night call to the University of Nottingham security team and Dr Sara Goodacre from a fellow Midlands Innovation university (they were too shy to want to be mentioned), prompted the Institute to work with External Relations and the NTU Graphic Design BA Course to create a fun piece of social media content to support the University of Nottingham Spiderlab's crowd-sourcing campaign and to celebrate one of the University of Nottingham's research and public engagement superstars... for the full story, check out https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/currentstudents/documents/uon-spiderwoman-comic1.pdf and if you have any similar stories that we might be able to feature in a marvel-style series, drop me a line. We're hopeful that the cartoon may now prompt a successful bid from the University to the National Geographic public engagement with science fund... [cid:image006.jpg at 01D3EED4.1E10C7D0] ---------- 4. And finally... a) The best three blogs I've read this month.. LSE Impact Blog: Ten top tips for social scientists seeking to influence policy University of Birmingham Public Engagement Blog: REF 2021 Public Engagement Workshop Stephen Kemp Impact Blog: More 4* REF impact case studies - a library of 4* impact case studies from the last REF b) Quick reflections on the first couple of months... The response of colleagues to the creation of the Institute over the first couple of months of taking up the role has been extremely heartening. Without exception, the need for the University to provide this central hub of coordination, expertise and strategic focus has been recognised - and colleagues from all Faculties have already started to think about how the Institute might join forces with activity and initiatives in their areas to deliver things that are greater than the sum of their parts. As ever, the transaction cost of navigating our internal institutional systems has been high, but there is a sense that by the time the permanent Director is in post, the vast majority of the wiring will have been sorted - with only minor electrical burns received! The key challenge over the coming months is going to be managing the demand for activity with the recognition that the Institute can't do everything. Whilst it should be pointed out that, resource-wisee, it is significantly smaller in size than similar bodies at almost all of our competitors; our ambitions far exceed theirs - and our business model, predicated on co-curation, sharing resources for shared rewards, amplification of existing activity and a resolute focus on the exceptional; is just plain better. Similarly, as the Interim Director - it won't be possible to over-commit the Institute in any particular direction, so please do bear in mind that the focus for the run-up to the summer is going to be on making sure the foundations, networks and profile of the Institute are in as good a place as they can be ahead of its formal launch in the Autumn of 2018.

She was doing some research on breast-feeding, and wanted help designing the research from mothers with experience (or not) of breastfeeding. Below I put the links to some of her tweets. She received hundreds of Direct Messages from people offering their views, so collated that and designed her study accordingly. Using the right hashtags it got shared quite widely including Jane Garvey and Women's Hour Call for help: https://twitter.com/rbcca_blaylock/status/957244203687448576 Thread summarising what she learnt: https://twitter.com/rbcca_blaylock/status/958095578898018304 Thanks Will Will Kendall Societal Engagement Officer T: @Imperial_PERC | Tel: +44 (0) 20 7594 9774 | W: www.imperial.ac.uk/patient-experience-research-centre/ Patient Experience Research Centre (PERC), School of Public Health Imperial College London, St Mary?s Campus, Norfolk Place London W2 1PG Visit PERC?s PPI Resource Hub and blog for our latest public involvement news, case studies and guidance. -----Original Message----- From: Public Engagement Network > On Behalf Of Naomi Kay Sent: 29 May 2018 10:00 To: NCCPE-PEN at JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: Public Engagement Online Hey I'm running some training next week on how to engage the public using digital methods - e.g. social media, blogging, vlogging etc. Does anyone have any examples of where they've done this well that I could share? I particularly want to focus on how people use digital methods to have conversations with the public, rather than focussing on purely disseminating.
