Pathways to Impact

Many of you will have seen that UKRI have announced changes to their requirements on 'Pathways to Impact'. From 1 March applicants are no longer required to provide a 'Pathways to Impact' plan or complete a 'Pathways Summary'. UKRI have stressed that the impact agenda continues to be of vital importance and have issued further guidance to answer FAQs<https://us20.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ukri.org%2Ffiles%2Ffunding%2Fpti-removal-supporting-guidance-for-applicants%2F&h=3af8404f1776ddfdc00d469fc9bb6317f5a4111e042adab169536fac2196b2ac&v=1&xid=be3322fad3&uid=113484114&pool=&subject=>. We will continue to monitor the situation and share information on how to ensure the value of your research to wider society is effectively communicated in bids.

Call for Participants - STEMM public engagement survey

The University wants to hear experiences of staff participating in scientific outreach and public engagement online.  Organisers are keen to hear from staff working in STEMM based subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) as well as those working in social sciences (e.g. psychology, economics, sociology/sociolinguistics.)
The survey closes on Friday 20 March and you can take part in the survey here<https://us20.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx%3Fid%3D7qe9Z4D970GskTWEGCkKHrsRG1nZCtVKj1eGQH6pFOdUNDU4RTZFSDZWSzNSNjA2WkFHUkdXUTk0OS4u&h=2480e5d2af394c31ca868c0b9930e23cf9b06cd8a719c866e13299b0282994b7&v=1&xid=be3322fad3&uid=113484114&pool=&subject=>.
Responses to the survey will feed into ongoing research being conducted by STEMM-CHANGE<https://us20.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stemm-change.co.uk%2F&h=3ccc93efb81ac6aec274f0ac944e44e2b99965fbb1951ba479a54aa072524ca7&v=1&xid=be3322fad3&uid=113484114&pool=&subject=>, an EPSRC-funded project driving a positive change in culture and practices in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).
In undertaking this research the University hopes to better understand how the online presence of scientists, engineers, technicians, medics, and other researchers is evaluated and judged in global public spaces.
A key dimension of this study is looking at the digital discrimination, bias and harassment that may be experienced by professionals participating in these kinds of activities, and the hidden barriers to inclusion they potentially introduce when encountered.
The survey is completely anonymous – at no point will you be asked for your name or any personally identifiable information, including institutional or industrial affiliation.
