Five minute survey on research practices
The University of Manchester is part of a UKRN study to investigate awareness of open research amongst all academic staff, researchers and doctoral researchers at the institution. Whether or not you know about or practice open research, we’d like to hear from you.
The results will help us to understand how we can better support staff in open research.
The survey is available here: https://brunellifesc.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3eLDWrN8iH2nB42
The deadline for completion is Friday 26th November 2021.

STEM Outreach Opportunity
Would you be interested in working with secondary school students at a Science and Technology Activity Day?
MCS Projects are looking for university students that could help to lead Robotics and E-FIT Forensics activities. For more information go to mcsprojectsltd.co.uk.
Students should have an enthusiasm for Science and Technology and ideally also have some experience of working with young people. The pay would be £75 plus travel expenses for each event.
To apply for this work please send a copy of your C.V to john.waterworth@mcsprojectsltd.co.uk. Successful applicants would need to attend an hour long training session.
