Research-Teaching Links in the Physical Sciences: Politics and Practice
Wednesday 18th March 2009, The Reinvention Centre, University of Warwick
Undergraduate Research and the Research Teaching Link are currently hot topics. Autumn 2008 saw the publication of three major reports, from the Scottish QAA and from Professors Nigel Thrift and Paul Ramsden to the Minister, John Denham, that provide a clear political framework for 2009 onwards.
The purpose of this workshop will be to explore what this proposed framework means for practitioners in the Physical Sciences in UK Higher Education through case studies that highlight what is actually happening in Physical Science Departments around the country, brief presentations around the Reports and plenty of opportunity for discussion.
To contribute a 10 minute case study presentation to the workshop, please contact Ruth Wellock, r.wellock -at- hull.ac.uk, with details of what you would like to present.
There is no registration fee for this meeting for those working in UK HE and lunch and refreshments will be provided. For more details and to register online:

Academic Communication Survey - Amazon vouchers
on behalf of Publishing Directions (UK) Ltd and JISC.
Dear Chemistry Researcher,
We would like to ask for your help - we need your input and perspective as a researcher in order to better understand how you communicate with your academic colleagues, particularly in using digital methods. We would like to understand more about how you locate, evaluate, organise, manage, transform, communicate and re-use research information in your field.
We would like to ask you to take 15 minutes to fill in a brief online survey.
Your input will provide vital insight into understanding methods of scholarly communications in the fields of chemistry and will help us to plan advocacy programmes to encourage the take up of new methodologies and technologies to improve the access to, use and re-use of content by UK academics in this field.
The survey is part of a study project undertaken by Publishing Directions (UK) Ltd (www.publishingdirections.co.uk) on behalf of JISC, the Joint Information Systems Committee (www.jisc.ac.uk).
WHERE IS THE SURVEY?:
The survey will be live online from 30th January - 13th February. You can access it here (www.rsc.org/advocacy), which redirects to a survey on http://www.surveymonkey.com/. Any answers you provide will be treated as strictly confidential and shared only with JISC in an aggregated format.
In order to thank you for your time, you will be given the opportunity to enter a Prize Draw, with prizes of 5 £40 Amazon vouchers to be won.
If you have any queries about the survey, please do not hesitate to contact me.
With thanks,
Dr William Town.
