This half term we returned to Highfields Park where family groups met with our researchers in Astronomy to learn more about how and when galaxies are formed. With the help of an artist they then created their own images of space (see example above) and left with goody bags full of fun activities to try at home and to continue their learning.

In November, the UK will be hosting the UN Conference on Climate Change, COP26, in Glasgow. This is a great opportunity for UK academics working on issues relating to climate change to bring their work to a wider audience. We are working on plans for a University-wide campaign to coincide with the conference, which will aim to highlight the diversity of work happening at the University to meet the climate challenge. In addition, our Deputy Director Chris Sims is monitoring and sharing other opportunities for academics to engage with COP26 in the months running up to the conference. If you would like to know more, or to sign up to receive updates about these opportunities, please email Chris<mailto:chris.sims at nottingham.ac.uk?subject=COP26%20academic%20participation>.
