SUMMARY:Energy Resilience for Agricultural Communities 2026: Accelerating the UK Agricultural Energy Transition through Research\, Collaboration and Action
DESCRIPTION:The UK agricultural sector faces growing pressure to transition to Net Zero while maintaining productivity\, resilience and economic viability. But what is stopping progress\, and what could help accelerate change? \nThis interactive workshop brings together farmers\, agricultural and rural organisations\, agro-processors\, energy and technology specialists\, policymakers\, investors and researchers to explore practical solutions to the UK agricultural energy transition. \nParticipants will share challenges\, hear cross-sector perspectives and explore research evidence\, before using the Integrated Agricultural Energy Transition Framework (IAETF) to co-design priorities for action. The IAETF is a six-step framework for developing agricultural energy transition plans that integrate local community needs\, agricultural and industrial drivers\, enabling conditions\, technical solutions\, implementation and opportunities for scaling and replication. \nThe day will generate practical\, policy\, investment and research priorities\, with findings contributing to a UK Agricultural Energy Transition Action Plan / Policy Brief. \nWhy attend? \n\nShare real-world challenges and experiences.\nDiscover practical opportunities and potential solutions.\nConnect with stakeholders across agriculture\, energy\, policy and finance.\nLearn about the IAETF and how its six-step approach can be applied to agricultural energy transition planning.\nHelp shape priorities for future action\, collaboration and research.\n\nWho should attend?\nFarmers and land managers; agro-processors and food businesses; agricultural and rural organisations; energy and technology professionals; policymakers and local authorities; environmental organisations; funders and investors; and PhD and postdoctoral researchers. \nPlaces are limited to approximately 40 participants. Places will be allocated to ensure a diverse mix of agricultural and cross-sector perspectives. \nWednesday 18 November 2026 | 09:30–16:30 | Keele University | Free\, in-person event \nTo register for this event please access the booking form via the following link:  Energy Resilience for Agricultural Communities 2026 – Fill out form

SUMMARY:Online Writing Retreat series for Postdoctoral Researchers and PhD Students (December 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Join C-DICE and Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) in a quiet\, structured space for postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to focus on your writing. This series of four writing retreats are designed to give you protected time to work on your own projects\, benefitting from peer presence to support focus and momentum. \nThe remaining session will be on: \n\nMonday 7 December\, 13.00 – 15.00\n\nYou are welcome to work on any form of academic writing\, including journal articles\, thesis chapters\, grant applications\, reports\, or other research outputs. If you have been meaning to make progress on something but haven’t had the space\, this is a chance to step back and write. \nWhy attend \nMany researchers find it difficult to protect time for writing during busy working weeks. This retreat provides: \n\nDedicated writing time – 100 minutes (plus optional break half way through)\nA clear structure to support focus\, including brief welcome\, informal goal setting and brief progress reflection\nA shared space with other researchers working quietly alongside you\n\nWho is this for \nThis session is open to: \n\nPhD students at any stage\nPostdoctoral researchers\n\nYou do not need to have a finished draft. The retreat is suitable whether you are starting\, revising\, or trying to move a stalled piece of writing forward. \nAccess and joining \nThe event will take place online via MS Teams. Registered participants will receive joining details in advance. You will be expected to bring a writing project to work on.
