Sharing your research with the public at Café Scientifique – Oct onwards

If you’re interested in sharing your scientific research with a friendly public audience – complete our form.

We’re currently organising our series of Café Scientifique events for Oct 2022 – July 2023 and we’re looking for people interested in getting involved. Café Scientifique is a public event format, popular around the world, where anyone can come along to explore the latest research in science and technology in a casual café setting. Following a short presentation by a researcher, there is plenty of time for questions and discussion from a varied public audience.

Taking place on a weekday evening, Café Scientifique events run monthly from June (excepting August and January). They’re organised centrally by the BU Public Engagement with Research Team, part of Research Development and Support (RDS). It’s a fantastic opportunity to get experience in engaging with the public in a friendly atmosphere and gain surprising insights into your own work.

We welcome academics at all career stages, although this is particularly valuable for those just getting started in engaging with the public. We also encourage collaboration between less experienced and more experienced public speakers – to provide a valuable learning experience with the support to keep things going smoothly.

Regarding your research – although we use a broad definition of ‘science’, the audience do have certain expectations from the name, so we do not tend to feature research outside of the broad ‘science’ theme.

Register your interest

What happens next?

Whether we will be able to host your talk, and at the time you want, depends on several factors including the subject matter, timing and other events, so completing this form does not guarantee you will be able to take part. If everything does align, we will be in touch to invite you to speak at an upcoming event.

Other ways to get involved

We’re looking to involve a wider range of people from across BU to make our Café Scientifique series a success and a true BU community project. As well as speaking, you could get involved in a number of flexible ways;

Hosting events – every Cafe Sci event needs a host – to welcome the audience, introduce the speakers and keep the questions flowing. This is a great opportunity for someone to develop skills and experience interacting with the public, as well as being an enjoyable way to meet other people.
Helping to organise events – whether it’s finding speakers, helping polish a presentation, promoting these events far and wide and more – we’d welcome any BU staff or students who’d like to help out with various bits behind the scenes on these events. This is a great way to dip your toes in the world of public engagement, gain experience in organising events and work on a fun project with others across BU.

If you have any questions about speaking at, or are interested in helping to host or organise these events, then please get in touch with the public engagement team at publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk. There’s no commitment, we can start from there and see what would work best for everyone.

Academics need to engage with policy and practice

Public engagement Vanora Hundley

The recent publication of REF2021 results has focused attention on developing effective pathways to research impact. Academics have a responsibility to share evidence to influence policy and practice for the benefit of patients, service users and wider society. A newly formed group, the UK network of Professors in midwifery and maternal and newborn health, intends to do just that.

Hosted by the Council of Deans of Health, the group brings together professors in midwifery and maternal and infant health to advise and inform the development of health services, education and research strategy and policy related to midwifery and maternity services. The aim being to improve the health and well-being of women, babies and families in the UK and globally.

The group has responded to the Ockenden review.

This week the group will submit evidence to the Baby Loss APPG and Maternity APPG: call for evidence on safe staffing.

The group will be hosting a series of webinars and other events to influence and engage with policymakers. In addition, the group will be helping to develop research capacity and capability.

Recent Assistive Technology Public Engagement Events

whittingtonp

Over the last few months, Dr Paul Whittington (Lecturer in Assistive Technology) has participated in three public engagement events to promote their assistive technology research currently being conducted at BU.

Dr Whittington was invited to attend an event at the Ace Centre, Abingdon, where Layla Moran MP was present to learn about the charity work at Ace Centre. The Ace Centre specialises in providing alternative and augmentative communication devices for people with disabilities. This was another opportunity for Dr Whittington to discuss their recent research on EduAbility, an Android application to provide assistive technology recommendations and training, to teachers, support staff, parents and carers. During this visit, Dr Whittington viewed the products that are supplied by the charity to assist in communication and hear the experiences from a user of this technology who attended the event. EduAbility received positive feedback from Layla Moran MP and Ace Centre, who acknowledged that there is a need for this type of application. EduAbility is currently being evaluated by local special educational needs and mainstream schools and is anticipated to be released publicly later in the year. The development of this application has been funded through the Faculty, as well as grants from Mazars Charitable Trust and the Alice Ellen Cooper Dean Charitable Foundation.

In July, Dr Whittington was invited to participate in the Panel at the Disabled Students Forum 2022. The Forum is organised by Inside Government and provides best practice guidance on improving accessibility of teaching and learning, as well as enhancing student experience for those with disabilities in higher education. The theme of the Panel was ‘Using the Latest Assistive Tech Innovations and Ideas to Support Teaching and Learning, and Enhance the Student Experience’ and this was an opportunity for Dr Whittington to address the delegates with his assistive technology experience and views on the current challenges in the sector. The Forum is specifically designed for the higher education sector and the delegates include Heads of Student Services, Disability Advisors, Student Engagement Managers and Senior Lecturers.

A third recent assistive technology event, 2^nd Workshop in Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusivity in Cyber Security (DAI) at the BCS HCI 2022 Conference, was organised by academics from the Departments of Computing and Informatics (including Dr Whittington and Dr Dogan). This was held as a virtual Workshop alongside the main Conference at Keele University. Dr Whittington and Dr Dogan had a paper accepted at this Workshop, which focused on the development and evaluation of Authentibility Pass. This is a second Android application that enables people with disabilities to communicate their authentication and accessibility requirements to organisations.

We anticipate holding the 3^rd DAI Workshop at the BCS HCI Conference next year, which may have a broader assistive technology theme. At the end of 2022 or early 2023, we are also planning an International Assistive Technology Symposium, an opportunity for academics, organisations and charities to present their assistive technology research. We will be organising this event in collaboration with our research partners in Malaysia, Malta, South Africa, Turkey, UK and USA and will update with further details.

July update on Horizon Europe

Ainars

According to UK Research Office (UKRO), the UK Government has announced a new package of measures to support applicants to Horizon Europe affected by the delays in association. The measures aim to ensure the stability for UK researchers and businesses and their European partners.

The measures will only come into force if the UK is unable to associate to Horizon Europe and will ensure that there is no funding gap. The UK government remains committed to a strong research collaboration with Europe and has reiterated that association remains its preferred outcome. The UK Government is ready to formalise association to EU programmes at the earliest opportunity.

Full details about the new measures are available on the dedicated page of the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) website.

The main message from the Government to the UK academics and research institutions remains the same – UK organisations can continue to apply to Horizon Europe in line with the European Commission’s ‘Q&A on the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe’ document.

The General Annexes attached to the main Horizon Europe work programme (2021-2022) ensure that UK applicants are treated as if the UK is an associated country throughout the process, from admissibility and eligibility to evaluation, up until the preparation of grant agreements. However, grant agreements can only be signed by UK participants if the association has come into force. Before that, normally, UK organisations will receive grant funding from the UK Government.

To finish this update and the whole academic year on an optimistic note, I am glad to tell you that in July 2022 BU academics have been awarded two Horizon Europe collaborative grants. This is amazing – congratulations!

UPDATE: just after publication of this blog we received information the from European Commission that the third Horizon Europe grant has been awarded to BU in July.

I wish all academics to enjoy the rest of the summer and keep promoting their research ideas in way of developing and submitting external grant applications. Majority of RDS pre-award staff will also be enjoying summer holidays in August to continue providing support after their return.

P.S. the recording and presentation from this year’s last funding briefing (Horizon Europe: Searching for funding opportunities and finding a call) is available on Brightspace. See you in September funding briefings again!

New Generation Thinkers 2023 has launched _AHRC and BBC Radio 3

Funding opportunities, Public engagement Eva Papadopoulou

The call for New Generation Thinkers 2023 has launched

Since 2010 the New Generation Thinkers scheme has developed a new generation of academics who can bring the best of university research and scholarly ideas to a broad audience through the media and public engagement.

It’s a chance for early career researchers to cultivate the skills to communicate their research findings to those outside the academic community. Each year, since 2010, 60 applicants are invited to create ideas with the BBC, of which 10 will be chosen as New Generation Thinkers.

Your research must have a primary focus in the arts and humanities. Your research could be bringing together arts and humanities research with other non-AHRC funded disciplines, provided you can demonstrate suitable links to the world of arts and humanities and that arts and humanities remains a primary focus.

The 10 that are selected as New Generation Thinkers, will be working with BBC Radio 3 and benefiting from a unique opportunity to develop their own programmes for the station and a chance to regularly appear on air. The AHRC also provides media training for Thinkers, and offers the possibility of working with BBC TV, speaking opportunities, involvement with the AHRC-funded Being Human Festival and more.

Please contact Eva Papadopoulou, (till 2nd August and then again from 1st September) if you are interested or have any queries, or Sam Goodman (during August) if you want to have an informal chat. For more information about the scheme can be found here. The timeline of the process is as below.

New paper by Dr. Orlanda Harvey

international, Publishing, student research, writing Edwin van Teijlingen

Congratulations to Dr. Orlanda Harvey and Dr. Margarete Parrish both in the Department of Sociology and Social Work on the acceptance of their latest paper ‘Mixed-methods research on androgen abuse – a review’ by the journal Current Opinion in Endocrinology & Diabetes [1]. Orlanda was invited to write this review on the basis of her PhD research project. Her PhD used a mixed-methods approach with people using un-prescribe /recreational Anabolic Androgenic Steroid (AAS) in several high-income countries including the UK. Anabolic Androgenic Steroids are synthetic drugs mimicking male sex hormones, especially testosterone, and are often used for their anabolic effects, for example, increasing muscle and strength. This PhD study resulted in several high-quality academic publications [2-4] as well as a feature article in HED Matters under the title ‘ECR Spotlight: From Social Work to Studying Steroids’ [5].

Congratulations!

Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen

Dealing with difficult reviewers

international, open access, Publishing, writing Edwin van Teijlingen

This week saw the publication of another Bournemouth University paper on academic writing and publishing. This latest paper ‘Struggling to reply to reviewers: Some advice for novice researchers‘ has been published in the scientific journal Health Prospect: Journal of Public Health. This journal is published in Nepal and it is Open Access, hence freely available across the globe.

Peer review is the process by which academic journals assess and regulate the quality of content they publish, by inviting academic experts to review your submitted manuscripts. It is a process of quality control. Once you have submitted your paper to a journal the editor will select potential peer reviewers within the field of research to peer-review your manuscript and make recommendations. In many case the peer review process can be a positive experience for you as it allows you to develop your skills and improve your written work. For example, good reviewers may notice potential imbalances, point out missing key references or highlight different potential perspectives, and thus help you to enhance the overall quality of the paper. On some occasions, however a reviewer can be a complete pain in the neck!

The paper is written by a multidisciplinary team based in the Department of Nursing Sciences (Dr. Regmi), the Department of Social Sciences and Social Work (Dr. Harvey), and the Department of Midwifery & Health Sciences (Dr. Taylor & Prof. van Teijlingen). The authors bring their combined expertise in midwifery, social work, health education, sociology and health services research to offers the readers advice how to deal with the more difficult reviewers.
