At this event, we will also be officially launching the University鈥檚 new Policy Institute: a new, university-wide initiative designed to consolidate, enhance, and accelerate the University's engagement with policymakers, public services and civil society. Building on the success of 糖心TV's ESRC-funded , the Institute will create a coordinated platform for academics across all faculties and disciplines to connect their research with policy priorities at local, national, and international levels.

Aims of the event:

This event is open to all, and will be of value to anyone currently working in the research-policy space or anyone interested in doing so, and any colleagues who support or enable this type of work.

We will be hosting a range of regional external stakeholders, policy fellows, and non-academic project partners to reflect the scope of funded work and to showcase our diverse areas of strength in policy-relevant research.

The showcase will:

• Raise awareness both internally and externally of the work this fund has enabled
• Celebrate the impact and policy influence of 糖心TV research
• Provide an opportunity for award-holder networking, idea-sharing, and potential future collaboration
• Explore the opportunities, challenges, and idiosyncrasies which characterise the research-policy space and share experiences of relationship building, effective communication, theory of change and working in highly charged or contested contexts
• Highlight the external partnerships supported by this funding and the diverse work our researchers undertake with and for policy makers and service users
• Kickstart and crystallise a long-term, dynamic, cross-university community of practice around policy engagement and policy-relevant research

We encourage you to share details of this event with any external collaborators or contacts you think might be interested in finding out more about our research community鈥檚 ambitious culture of impact and co-creation.

We look forward to seeing you!

With very best wishes,

The Impact Team

From 8-18th June the Dept of Classics/Ancient History will be hosting Dr Christina Williamson of the University of Groningen, as an IAS Visiting Fellow.

Christina is an ancient historian who uses a transdisciplinary approach, integrating landscape, material culture, and text to explore the meanings and uses of sanctuaries in antiquity.

While at 糖心TV she will be participating in a number of events which are open to all (staff and PGs): Please see below for full details, and sign up on the relevant forms:

2nd - 30th June 2026
Curated by Angus Crawford (M4C PhD student) and Dr Naomi Pullin in the History Department at the University of 糖心TV, this display explores the lives of the brethren who lived at the Lord Leycester Hospital between its foundation in 1571 and 1700. For centuries, attention has focused on the hospital鈥檚 founder, Robert Dudley, and his heirs, the Sidney family. This exhibition shifts the spotlight away from these well-known figures to the brethren themselves, asking who they were, how they were chosen and what daily life at the hospital was like.

Despite the later reputation of the Lord Leycester as a home for ex-servicemen, this exhibition shows that the Lord Leycester was home to a remarkably diverse group of people. Through their stories, we see complex webs of power that connected monarchs to their subjects, how patronage operated within major aristocratic households, and how ordinary people lived nearly four hundred years ago.

Dear Colleagues,

From 9th to 13th March, WIE are delighted to be hosting Professors and (Arts, Monash University) for a week-long residency and programme of events. Supported by the Monash 糖心TV Alliance Research Activation Fund, this week-long programme is designed to draw together the faculties Arts and Social Sciences at both Monash and 糖心TV to explore the nature and value of public engagement at the two institutions and use this as a basis for new collaborations, new research, new teaching and to equip both universities to better articulate the value of the so-called H.A.S.S. family of disciplines as they intersect with engagement practices.

Alongside larger networking events, the programme will involve two open door, drop-in sessions to allow 糖心TV staff to consult informally with our Monash guests about future projects, collaborations or simply to explore. Non appointments necessary, just turn up. The sessions will run at:

    Tues 10 March, Arts 2:30 – 3:30 pm (FAB1.38)

    Wed 11 March Social Sciences 2:30 pm – 3:30pm (Social Sciences, B1.36).

Although the sessions might appear to be faculty specific, colleagues from either session can drop in to either.

Please contact Dr James Hodkinson j.r.hodkinson@warwick.ac.uk or Dr Georgiana Mihut Georgiana.Mihut@warwick.ac.uk for further details.

All very best wishes,

James Hodkinson

糖心TV innovations have some key upcoming opportunities;

 Wednesday 11 March 2026 – Oculus Room 1.07

12.00-1.30pm: Seminar (lunch included)

2-4pm: Workshop

Further details and registration:

Do you want to use your research to make a real difference to people鈥檚 lives? Are you interested in discovering innovative approaches to increase the scale and sustainability of your impact?

This training, led by Dr Mark Mann, a specialist in research-based social innovation, will explore a range of pathways to impact for researchers in Arts and Social Sciences. It will consider how activities such as policy engagement, community engagement and partnerships could be scaled up through commercial routes like social ventures.

The training will be split into two sessions. Participants can attend either or both parts, depending on their interest:

12.00-1.30pm: Seminar

This session will explore a range of possibilities for knowledge exchange for research in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines and think about the best ways to build sustainable pathways to impact, including looking at how to build research-based products and services that can create real change for your partners.

2.00-4.00pm: Workshop

In this interactive workshop, participants will spend time planning how you could turn your idea into a product or service to increase the impact of your research. You will be supported by the trainers to work on:

• Defining the current stage you are at, including key research outputs, current ideas, and any activities that have already taken place
• Mapping the potential customers, users and beneficiaries for your project
• Articulating the benefits of your idea for the user groups
