WASC, in conjunction with the Polymer Characterisation RTP, is hosting the Gel Permeation Celebration on 28th April at the University of ��TV - our first event targeted towards PhD students!

This conference is aimed at highlighting the importance of SEC/GPC to the work of PhD researchers, and will also be a great opportunity to meet and network with other scientists.

Talks are welcomed from PhD Students who use SEC in their research. Other techniques and synthesis are welcome obviously, however, we would love to hear how SEC has been useful to your research.

Those who wish to bring posters are also more than welcome. We will have several opportunities throughout the day for poster sessions and networking.

Unfortunately, we are limited to 50 participants in person, but we can have unlimited on-line attendees. For those wishing to attend online, Zoom links will be sent out. Priority will be given to PhD researchers for in person attendance.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided during the day.

We will be going for networking drinks after the event, if you would like to join and stay overnight, we can help you find accommodation but unfortunately will not be able to pay for it.

To register for FREE, please follow the link (top right), where there will also be options to submit abstracts for talks. All abstracts will be reviewed by our panel (below).

For specific enquiries, please feel free to email Dan (d.lester@warwick.ac.uk) and keep an eye on our Twitter for updates (@polymer_RTP and @WASC_��TV)

The Talent Commission report

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 14:03:53 GMT

The final report is now live and can be found here: Talent Commission Report

The TALENT Commission, has gathered new strategic insights into the UK’s technical workforce in higher education and research.

The TALENT Commission addresses themes around: Contributions to UK higher education and research, policy landscape, characteristics and trends of the workforce, funding technical roles, career pathway, progression, CPD, succession and sustainability, perception, recognition and representation, emerging technologies and technical skills, technical staff as teachers and technical partnerships.

It makes 16 overarching recommendations to guide delivery of this vision. A series of targeted recommendations for specific stakeholder groups: employers of technical staff, funders, government and policy makers, professional bodies and learned societies and the technical community have also been proposed.
