The Research Administration Solutions (RAS) project team is running a webinar 3pm 13th February 2025 for all researchers and professional services staff involved in research to inform them about the replacement of current systems, Ideate and WRAP. In this webinar, you will hear about what's changing and when, as well as what this means for you. Colleagues will speak about how the new systems will address key pain points in the research administration lifecycle, and why they're championing the project.

The Abstract - for SCAPVC and FOA postgraduates
We would like to invite you all to attend, and take part in, The Abstract! The Abstract is an opportunity for SCAPVC and Faculty of Arts postgraduate students to share and discuss their research, writing, and output (all formats welcome!). It allows postgraduate research and taught students to present their work to an audience of other postgraduate students and friends. Each session, 2-3 researchers will present their work (which can be a finished product or the first rough draft of a new idea), followed by a lively discussion. The Abstract aims to generate interdisciplinary connections between students and their work and invites contributions from a range of different fields, incorporating diverse methodologies and theoretical contexts.
Our first session of The Abstract will be Wednesday 5th February 2025 at 6pm, FAB 0.20 (refreshments provided)!
Following session dates (6pm, FAB 0.20):
Week 5, Term 2 - 5th February
Week 9, Term 2 - 5th March
Week 2, Term 3 - 30th April
