SUMMARY:ERA Retreat - Cultivating Excellence: Navigating Research Culture and Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a two-day event designed specifically for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers\, focused on enhancing your understanding of research culture and responsible research practices. Cultivating Excellence: Navigating Research Culture and Responsibility offers an opportunity to learn from experts and engage in interactive discussions aimed at equipping you with the knowledge and tools to thrive in your academic journey. \n\nDay One: Research Culture\nThe first day will focus on understanding and developing a positive research culture. You’ll learn how to foster collaboration\, promote inclusivity\, and cultivate a supportive academic environment that encourages innovation and personal growth. Sessions will cover practical strategies to navigate the challenges of research life while maintaining well-being and professional excellence.\nDay Two: Responsible Research\nThe second day will focus on responsible research\, drawing on the EPSRC’s Framework for Responsible Innovation. You’ll explore how to anticipate the potential implications of your research\, reflect on the ethical and societal dimensions\, and engage with a broad range of stakeholders. Through workshops and expert-led discussions\, you’ll learn how to embed these principles into your research to ensure it is ethically sound\, socially beneficial\, and sustainable. Key areas will include anticipating risks\, taking a reflexive approach to your work\, and developing strategies for open and transparent communication.\n\nThis event is an invaluable learning opportunity for researchers at the early stages of their careers. Whether you’re working towards your doctorate or building your post-doctoral profile\, this event will provide you with key insights and practical guidance to support your development as a responsible researcher.

SUMMARY:AI for Researchers: A Beginner’s Guide
DESCRIPTION:We have collaborated with the Centre for Postdoctoral Development in Infrastructure Cities and Energy (C-DICE) to host an AI for beginner’s workshop. \nThis workshop is for you if you want to use Generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT\, Co-Pilot\, Claude) in your research but you’re not sure where to start! \nIt is a workshop for AI beginners\, not AI experts.  You do not need to have any experience of using Generative AI to attend the workshop. \nWe will explore a range of GenAI tools for general users and researchers\, and consider how they work\, how you can optimise them for research tasks\, effective prompt engineering\, and how you can understand AI outputs.  We will also discuss the ethics of Generative AI and guidelines for their use in research. \nA recent ‘Nature’ article found that 25% of researchers sampled were already using AI to write grants.  The pace of AI change is rapid in areas like content production and data analysis.  Being up-to-date with how you can use these tools is becoming essential for researchers. \nThis workshop will help you to become more aware of the potential uses of AI tools in your research. \n(Chat GPT-4 helped to write this workshop summary!) \nBooking:\nBooking is via Inkpath (the C-DICE researcher development platform) if you are not registered with Inkpath follow this link for information on how to register www.cdice.ac.uk/programme/inkpath/ . \nTo reserve your place login to Inkpath then click here to book your place. \nDate and time:\nFriday 17th May 2024\, 10:00-12:00\, Online via Zoom. \nPresenter biography:\nDr Naomi Tyrell is the founder of ‘Research Your Way’ and has over 20 years of research and evaluation experience. \n​Naomi has led research projects funded by the Economic and Social Research Council\, European Commission\, British Academy\, Leverhulme Trust\, University of Plymouth\, charitable trusts and the National Lottery. She is currently a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Plymouth. \nYou can see Naomi’s published\, peer-reviewed journal articles\, books and book chapters here and here. \nresearchyourway.com

SUMMARY:2023 Birmingham Decarbonisation Summer School
DESCRIPTION:This five-day in-person event will bring early career researchers together to propose a technical solution and business model for decarbonising a railway service in the UK. Ricardo plc\, a leading engineering consultancy\, will present the challenge and put you in the seat of a consultant for the week. Whilst this year’s theme of railways involves a lot of electric/mechanical engineering\, we strongly encourage applications from other disciplines such as business\, economics\, social sciences\, and environmental sciences. The winning team will receive a lot of kudos and a £100 prize per team member (this may take the form of vouchers). The programme will consist of plenty of technical talks by academics and industry experts to better familiarise attendees with the challenges facing railway decarbonisation\, a social programme\, and team building activities to ensure an informative and enjoyable week for all!

SUMMARY:ERA and C-DICE's Virtual COP world café.
DESCRIPTION:Based on The World Café method this virtual workshop will bring together Early Career Researchers to discuss ways to tackle challenges identified by COP27 and how to make the resolutions a reality. The session will start with C-DICE fellow Tom Dolan giving a short talk to set the scene\, then we will use an interactive mural board with five stations that will cover the topics of Energy Systems Transformations\, Loss and Damage Fund\, Engineering and Infrastructure Leadership\, Current Barriers and Future Priorities\, and A Resilient Future. Participants will move between the stations to discuss their ideas; these will be captured on the interactive mural to create a living collaborative dialogue on how to resolve the challenges identified by COP27.

SUMMARY:Living Labs - A Net-Zero Heroes event
DESCRIPTION:During this webinar we will hear from the British Geological Survey (BGS) about their observatories for researchers to investigate the subsurface\, particularly in relations to shallow geothermal energy. \nOur second speaker is Prof Mark Gillott who will present his work on how our homes will play an active part within community energy systems in order to reduce our energy use\, cost and associated carbon emissions. His presentation will include real world demonstrators where new technical and socio economic models are being trialled and evaluated. \nMark Gillott\, is the University of Nottingham’s Professor of Sustainable Building Design\, has 30 years’ experience in low carbon sustainable energy technologies and sustainable building design. He is the research and project manager for the multi-award winning living lab ‘Creative Energy Homes’ low/zero carbon housing project through which he has co-designed\, constructed and monitored the performance of some of the UK’s first whole house retrofits and ‘Code for Sustainable Homes’ level 4 and 6 (zero carbon) homes. He project managed the multi award winning £8 million UK Energy Research Accelerator Community Energy Demonstrator at the £180 million Nottingham Trent Basin sustainable housing development of low carbon homes. This scheme operates under a new community energy business model and incorporates what was Europe’s largest community energy battery with onsite solar PV. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:The Midlands' Journey to Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Events around Net Zero tend to be based on a large scale\, such as the Government’s 2050 Net Zero goal\, however\, local goals are just as important for reaching Net Zero. The event will showcase how organisations and people can reach Net Zero with talks based on the theme “What are organisations undertaking to get to Net Zero?” The plenary session for the event will feature Wayne Bexton\, the Director of Environment and Sustainability at Nottingham City Council\, on the city’s progress and roadmap for their 2028 Net Zero Goal. Talks include “energising communities with active buildings” by Professor Mark Gillott at the University of Nottingham\, with further speakers tbc. There will also be a workshop for industry\, students\, and stakeholders to converse on how different sectors can work towards Net Zero and share ideas. Stalls will be held by Nottingham Friends of the Earth\, Extinction Rebellion\, Energy Research Accelerator\, Clean Air Nottingham and Nottingham Climate Assembly to circulate during breaks and lunch to learn more about what local groups are contributing to the battle to Net Zero. \nThe event is the first ERA Skills Community funded event\, created by Fern Baker at the University of Nottingham. \nRegister here
