We hope you had a restful break and are looking forward to a productive year in 2020. We just thought we'd remind you that the Institute for Policy and Engagement has a number of exciting training opportunities coming up in the next couple of months, which are open to all UoN staff. We offer our opportunities both as face to face training sessions (delivered on the University Park Campus) and as online webinars, which can be accessed from anywhere. Our face to face sessions take place a 2 pm and our webinars at 9 am UK time. You can sign up to any of these opportunities via Central Short Courses if you are in the UK. If you are in China or Malaysia and would like to join one of the webinars in the series, please email us. Social media training opportunities delivered by our external partners First up on 10 January we have our webinar session, Introduction to Social Media for Engagement. This session will help demystify the world of social media and give you the tools to start thinking about how you can use it to support your policy impact and public engagement objectives. This session will also run as a face-to-face session on University Park Campus on 16 January. If the introductory session gets you interested in social media, or if you're already familiar with the basics of using social media professionally, why not sign up for our face to face training session on Planning a Social Media Campaign? This takes place on 11 February and will explore how to use social media in more depth, specifically focusing on how to plan a campaign around a particular piece of research and engage with policy or public audiences. Other training opportunities coming up in the next couple of months Planning for policy impact - a face to face training session on 14 January, focusing on how to develop a policy impact plan for a particular piece of research. This session is also running as a webinar on 5 February. Introduction to public engagement - a webinar session for newcomers to public engagement, taking place on 22 January. Planning for public engagement - a face to face training session on 28 January, focusing on how to develop a public engagement plan for a particular piece of research.

The aim is to bring together the combined strengths and civic missions of our two universities to help drive prosperity and opportunity across our local area. Together with Nottingham Trent University, we have undertaken a joint economic, social and cultural impact study - and explored where we might be able to join-up our local programmes and activity. Drawing on the recommendations of the UPP Civic University Commission, this work will provide the foundation for a new approach to how we work with each other and with our local partners to help change the lives of people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The idea is to try use a process of consultation and co-curation with both unis and our civic partners to identify and priorities a series of significant, solution-oriented and multilateral initiatives to help address local challenges. These will then be codified into a formal 'Universities for Nottingham Civic Agreement' - something we hope will give greater clarity, structure and purpose to what we do locally with our partners. You can see some of the early conversation on twitter at #UnisForNottingham - and we will be pushing some of the findings of the report and stories we've featured on social media shortly - so any and all amplification is very much appreciated. Our two universities already have a huge impact on the lives of local people and this is documented in a joint impact assessment report based on independent analysis from the consultancy Public First, as well as on the Universities for Nottingham website and through a series of videos. I've attached the report + a bit of a briefing on how we think the Universities for Nottingham Civic Agreement might be developed in practice. There's loads of interesting stuff in the report and on the website - but my top five stats are: ? Once every 22 seconds someone living in Nottingham is trained by, attends a programme run by, visits a facility hosted by, is supported by a student or staff member from, works with a student placed by, or works in a business supported by one of our two universities ? ?3.8bn is the combined economic impact of both universities on the UK economy every year ? Almost 35 000 local school children taking part in our outreach activities each year ? Together we support 14% of Nottingham's economy, 25,000 jobs and would be the third largest local employer. ? There's ?145m GVA boost to the East Midlands economy from our international students There will be plenty of opportunity for colleagues across the University to get engaged with the initiative. It is being led by the Global and Political Affairs Unit in External Relations and we are working with the Institute for Policy and Engagement to consider the best way to do this in terms of research impact and public engagement. We'll be doing a series of roadshows over the next few months to talk more about it - and potential establish a UoN internal network for those interested in the civic agenda. But for now, if you're interested in learning more about UfN - you can get in touch with amy.williams at nottingham.ac.uk. Do please cascade to any colleagues you think might be interested. Finally, it is worth stressing that, whilst the Universities for Nottingham is a significant initiative, it is by no means intended as the totality of our strategic approach to the civic agenda, which is likely to be much broader. Work to define this approach is underway - led by the University's Civic and Regional Committee, chaired by Professor Kevin Shakesheff, Faculty-PVC Science and UEB lead for Civic - as part of the new University's Strategy.
