Warwick Institute of Engagement's Promotion and Reward Learning Circle team up with Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA) each year to run support workshops for academic staff looking to apply for a promotion.

This years session will include information from WIE about putting together your Impact, Outreach and Engagement case, and from WIHEA who will talk through the process more broadly. Both teams will feature presentations from staff recently promoted, some advice on framing applications and plenty of time for questions and answers. The session is suitable for staff looking to apply to become a Assistant Professor/Associate Professor, and those looking to become a Reader/ Professor.

References to public and community engagement have become near ubiquitous in the higher education context. Applications for research funding demand stakeholder engagement, universities integrate public engagement into their strategies, and the UK’s Research Excellence Framework 2029 includes “Engagement and Impact” as one of its three assessment elements. However, these activities often omit the integration of key actors in any university: taught students. The Pedagogies of Public and Community Engagement Learning Circle, shared by the Warwick Institute of Engagement (WIE) and the Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA) are delighted to announce the launch of a new curated handbook of 19 case studies of engaged pedagogic practice, developed by University of Warwick staff and students. Spanning across and beyond all faculties at the University, on a wide range of activities from podcast assignments to student-run teddy bear hospitals, the handbook covers engagement both within modules and outside the regular curriculum.

Explore the guide, and sign up to join us for our special launch event where we explore more of the case studies in depth and discuss how to move From Guide to Action on Thursday 19 November, 3-5pm - The Library. All staff and students are welcome.

This event aims to bring the WIHEA staff and student community together for networking opportunities, updates on strategic priorities and upcoming activities that the community can engage with. WIHEA Learning Circle Leads and our Student SU Ex-officio Fellows will share information on their planned goals and activities for 2026/27.

More information and registration details will be shared with the WIHEA Community soon. WIHEA Fellows, Alumni and Members please do hold the date.

A space to share, reflect and learn from each other's experience of using coaching with students.

We are launching these sessions in December, and we will agree as a group on what we want achieve collectively.

These are not training sessions, rather we will:

• share an experience/challenge and get ideas from colleagues
• reflect on what has/hasn't worked
• discover hands-on coaching techniques we can try in our practice
• discuss readings and consider how they might translate into practice.
