Plasmas provide substantial miniaturization potential for sources of high-energy charged particle beams owing to their capability to sustain electric fields far beyond GV/m, thereby outperforming state-of-the-art metallic radio-frequency accelerators by orders of magnitude. In recent years, substantial progress in beam quality and beam control from plasma-based accelerators has...

This event is part of a series of lectures and tutorials on data science topics hosted by the Platform for Challenges in Data Science. It is intended specifically for the PhD students in the cluster but younger and more senior scientists are of course also welcome.

This interactive and hands-on training addresses early career researchers with none or little experience in the field of Public Engagement. The training will not just answer the question why Public Engagement is important for society and stakeholders, but also how researchers can benefit from an open dialogue with multiple partners and audiences.

For STEM postdocs
Research and academia can be stressful, high pressure and competitive environments. This has had a significant impact on individual physical and mental wellbeing and can be associated with mental health conditions and burnout. However, the onus of mental health lies beyond the individual. Creating a supportive research culture and environment is important to support the mental...

Communication is a difficult thing to handle. We do it every day, right now that you read this text. It’s trivial and ubiquitous. On the other hand we know: It’s challenging, sometimes dysfunctional. This general statement applies even more to communication between supervisor and doctoral researcher. The experienced meets the inexperienced. And both sides have their own expectations, unfortunately...

This HRA spotlight is an opportunity for you to stop and take stock of your research career: Do you have a vision, and are you being strategic? Through discussion and guided reflection time we will think about:

- Your progress so far on working towards your desired goals
- What might affect your career or research strategy?
- Scanning the wider landscape: policy and funding
- Being strategic...

Research culture describes the environment in which research happens — not only the organisational and policy structures, but also the behaviours, expectations, and ethics of our research communities. We all have a responsibility in ensuring that the culture of research is positive and inclusive, so that everyone can do their best work. In the UK, for example, the Government, funders, and...

Writing for a non-scientific audience has you breaking out into sweat? Don’t worry, you are not alone. The good news: while talent plays a role as it does in any skill, so does technique and practice. Engaging writing is a skill that you can learn. This course will focus on writing for web and social media, but many of the techniques we cover will help you with your scientific writing as well.
