Learn how to engage stakeholders and communities in your research in a more meaningful, collaborative way in this short course, led by the co-director of the National Centre for Research Methods, Professor Melanie Nind. We have a small number of places left for researchers at all stages in their careers – you can sign up here.

The course comprises two 2-hour workshop sessions for 12-30 people (optimum 20) plus recordings and additional materials. Both sessions will be in person at the Bournemouth Gateway Building, and we encourage academics from all faculties to sign up for both workshops.

Participants will gain clear insight into the multiple agendas driving participatory research. Together we will develop know-how in addition to know-what needed for participatory research. The group will work collaboratively to develop their own ideas stimulated by shared examples and real-life conundrums.

Day 1: The why of participatory research – Adding value

Researching with not on: The changing dynamics of research and rationale behind the democratisation of research
Making the most of lived experience to add value to research
Participatory research designs and methods – different ways of knowing
5 practical changes we can make and why

Day 2: The how of participatory research – How to enhance research participation and quality

Co-producing research proposals and project designs
Participatory ways of working – getting ideas from successful projects
This is my truth – tell me yours – co-producing findings and outputs
5 steps to doing research inclusively and doing research well.

Professor Nind is also the author of What is Inclusive Research?, Director of the Centre for Research in Inclusion at the University of Southampton and Deputy Director of the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership. She has expertise in the areas of education, disability studies and methodology and extensive experience supporting the development of participatory/inclusive research both locally and internationally.

On 29^th June, Vitae are visiting BU and running a series of events in one day to promote the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers.

One of the events running 11-1pm will be focused on Engaging in professional development and is a workshop directed at researchers.

The workshop will introduce participants to tools to assist them in managing their own professional development planning, exploring concepts, and techniques to assist them in setting, pursuing and achieving their career goals. It will be based around the Researcher Development Framework (RDF) and how it can be incorporated into their planning to effectively support their career development.

The workshop will explore:

• What we mean by professional development planning

• Why it should matter to researchers

• The core skills and attributes of effective researchers

• How to identify one’s own skills and attributes

• How to approach building a career development plan

By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed an understanding of the key concepts of career development, considered their current skillset, and started to design a roadmap to bridge the gap between the two, using the RDF.

Booking can be made here – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/vitae-conference-2022-tickets-348638736847

You can book on one workshop or all day. Other sessions include:

An introduction to the Concordat, why it matters, and what BU is doing to engage with the agenda
Supporting researchers’ professional development – a workshop for managers
An informal discussion about where a PhD and a post-doc position can take you career wise (spoiler alert, it’s not just a traditional academic pathway!) and networking.

Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusivity: Integrity Week Keynote and Workshop

Integrity Week Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusivity (DAI) Keynote and Workshop

Friday 20th May 2022

Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusivity (DAI) are important considerations in computing to ensure that technologies are suitable for all users, who could have differing abilities as a result of physical or cognitive impairments. Web security and privacy technologies can present barriers for people with disabilities, e.g. users with physical disabilities being unable to receive one time codes by text message or multi-step procedures on websites that are challenging for users with learning disabilities. This can result in these users being unable to authenticate themselves with organisations or accessing services.

On Friday 20th May 2022, Dr Huseyin Dogan (Associate Professor in Computing) and Dr Paul Whittington (Lecturer in Assistive Technology) will deliver a keynote presentation and workshop focussed on DAI considerations in research. The keynote will present their experiences and challenges of conducting assistive technology research, including usability studies in special educational needs schools and at public events. The Authentibility Pass and HealthAbility apps will be introduced that provide accessible authentication.

This will be followed by an Interactive Management workshop on DAI of computing and assistive technology. During this 1.5 hour workshop, delegates will collaborate to identify challenges in these themes and participate in a roundtable discussion to create a roadmap for enhancing diversity, accessibility and inclusivity.

RDS Academic and Researcher Inductions – 2022

BU research, Research Training, RKE development framework Jo Garrad

As mentioned in Monday’s article on ‘getting started with research at BU‘, the Research Development and Support (RDS) invite all ‘new to BU’ academics and researchers to a induction.

These events provide an overview of all the practical information staff need to begin developing their research plans at BU, using both internal and external networks; to develop and disseminate research outcomes; and maximising the available funding opportunities.

Objectives

The primary aim of the induction is to raise participants’ awareness of how to get started in research at BU or, for more established staff, how to take their research to the next level
To provide participants with essential, practical information and orientation in key stages and processes of research and knowledge exchange at BU

Online induction being done a little bit differently

As we continue to hold inductions online, we continue to do these a bit differently (to avoid ‘death by PowerPoint’). As said yesterday, RDS prepare videos in advance so that attendees can watch these when suited to them before the induction day. There are nine videos in total (some are quite short, and the more important ones (on process) run to ~20 minutes) and all are available on Brightspace. The video topics are

Overview of research at BU and Research Development and Support (RDS)
Overview of the Funding Development Team
Overview of the Project Delivery Team
Overview of the Knowledge Exchange and Impact Team
Applying for Research Funding at BU
Managing your awarded grants
Research Outputs
Research Ethics
Research Impact

These are sent in advance (aiming for three weeks’ beforehand) to those attending the induction.

On the day of the induction, we will run an interactive session where attendees can meet their RDS faculty-facing staff, and have the opportunity to ask any questions on any of the topics above, or anything else RDS related that they need more information on. There will be breakout rooms for each faculty, as well as a room for Research Outputs and Ethics, and a room for Research Impact and Knowledge Exchange. The main room will remain open for any questions on strategy and research at BU. This is a great opportunity to meet your RDS colleagues and to get 1-2-1 advice.

The inductions for 2022 will be held on:

Workshop	Date	Time	Location
RDS Academic & Researcher Induction	27th April 2022	09:30 – 11.00	Online
RDS Academic & Researcher Induction	19th October 2022	09:30 – 11.00	Online

If you would like to attend the induction then please book your place through Organisational Development and you can also visit their pages here.

We hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you.

Regards,

The RDS team (this photo was obviously taken pre-pandemic)
