In the place of an in person, day-long Annual Conference, The Institute for Policy and Engagement will be hosting a series of events, webinars and online workshops for colleagues across faculties, schools and campuses at the University. With a line-up of impressive
internal and external speakers, we will be exploring recent developments in policy and public engagement. In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the UK’s departure from the EU and new reliance on digital ways of engaging, sessions will encourage debate, learning
and information sharing on new approaches to engagement.<br>
<br>
We are delighted to announce sessions are now open for booking, via individual Eventbrite links:<br>

Part of the Science Public Lecture Series<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">15 October, 6-7 pm</span></strong><br>
<br>
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionised portable electronics and begun electrification of the UK automotive sector. However, Li-ion batteries cannot store enough energy to solve all of our future energy-storage problems. In this lecture, Darren Walsh will
describe how new research into chemistry and materials discovery is leading to the next generation of batteries that will go “beyond lithium-ion” and power transportation in the future, on the ground as well as in the air!<br>

The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites proposals for its public engagement nucleus awards. These support novel public engagement programmes that inspire and involve target audiences with stories of STFC science and technology, and build and sustain
public engagement networks that develop communities of practice. Proposed programmes must focus on a topic within the council’s remit, which includes astronomy, solar and planetary science, particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics
and accelerator science, or clearly align to the science and technology work of STFC’s national and international laboratories and facilities. Applications that highlight the social, ethical, and economic benefits of research are welcomed. Applications are
encouraged to propose novel or innovative approaches towards engagement. Applications that propose engagement with audiences considered to have low science capital are also encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#18194F">Applicant organisations must be based in the UK and the target audiences of the project must be primarily UK residents. Applicants may include grant-funded researchers,
STFC scientists and engineers, facility users, schools, museum, science communicators, universities and colleges. They must be eligible to apply on behalf of the organisation to hold the award. Each application must include a researcher in an STFC-funded area
of science or technology. The maximum value that may be sought by organisations covered by fEC is £125K, and
