Newcastle University Hatton Gallery | **Open Exhibition Call** | Closing date No.1: 5pm Fri Dec 14th 2018

Newcastle University’s Institute for Creative Arts Practice, in partnership with Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, invite proposals from Newcastle University staff and Early Career Researchers, from all Faculties, to produce an exhibition at the Hatton Gallery during pre-agreed time slots in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Proposals might be to present the outcomes of research projects, to test works in progress, to display a body of work, or to explore the results of collaborative endeavours. The work must result in high quality creative outputs in keeping with the Hatton Gallery’s world-class exhibitions. With culture and creative arts recognised as one of five key research strengths in the University’s Vision & Strategy (Oct 2018) this is an ideal opportunity to showcase University research.

Proposals are welcome which also reflect TWAM’s mission – to help people determine their place in the world and define their identities, so enhancing their self-respect and their respect for others.

Please note, that this call invites the use of high profile exhibition space within the Hatton Gallery to present research projects. There is no funding attached to the call for exhibition design & production. This means that applicants should indicate the source/intended source of funding for this work (NB: if applying for external funding some match funding might be available dependent on the funder).

More details and application form attached.

Closing date for 2019 slot: 5pm Fri December 14th 2018

Closing Date for 2020 slots: 5pm Friday 29th March 2019

“World Cafe” Style Workshops

Dear Colleagues

On the 27th July 2018 Executive Board granted permission for FMS to develop proposals to redesign Faculty structures.  This followed an External Peer Review undertaken in July, and an ensuing Town Hall meeting held on 18th July where key conclusions were disseminated, namely that:

  • A Faculty restructure is needed as a matter of urgency.
  • Key objectives include maximising potential in research and education, interdisciplinarity, communication and reputation.
  • Redesign should and will fit well with the new transformational University strategic initiatives.
  • If executed properly, the process will take FMS from “good” to “excellent”.

The slides and town hall event recap can be found at Faculty of Medical Sciences FMS from Good to Great

Staff participation at all stages is vital for this programme to succeed. Effective engagement will ensure that diverse experience and knowledge, as well as unmet and hidden needs inform our work.  You will shortly be invited to book onto “World Café” style workshops which are being hosted by either David Burn, Dave Jones, Jane Calvert or Derek Mann. For information the dates are as follows:

PL-UK Science Forum 13-14 September

Please find attached an invitation from the British Embassy in Warsaw to The UK-Polish Science Forum in Warsaw on 13-14 September. The agenda for the event and descriptions of the workshops are attached.

Representatives from the Royal Society, UUK and British Council are confirmed, but they would also like to invite UK researchers and academics with experience of or interest in collaboration with Polish institutions.

My understanding is also that the Embassy has offered to cover the costs of accommodation and flights for the first 30 participants who register and we’d also be happy to contribute from the Horizon 2020 Support Fund.
