SUMMARY:SMMR Training "Grant Writing for Researchers"
DESCRIPTION:The SMMR-Net are excited to host Dr Kate Smith for this free half day training on Grant Writing for Researchers! \n‘Grant Writing’ with Dr Kate Smith covers all you need to know to write successful grant applications speedily and effectively. Offering lots of do’s and don’ts and practical tips and techniques from lived experience\, the session includes research councils and other grant-awarding bodies including philanthropic foundations\, Fellowship applications\, and collaborative applications. Exemplars from the pack are reviewed and discussion about narrative structure\, financial narratives and recommendations for outputs and dissemination are set out. Includes Q&A and direct advice on applications. \nDr Smith has had successful applications to Yale for a Fellowship and won a global competitive Fellowship competition to Harvard in 2013.\n​\nThe Training will cover the following topics: \n\nIntroducing Grant Writing as a key researcher development skill. Developing a Grant Writing strategy.\nDemonstrating the RCUK applications process (J-es etc).\nSetting out non-RCUK grant-awarding bodies.\nInternational applications including Fellowships.\nWhat does a winning grant application contain (exemplars)?\nWhat does an unsuccessful grant application look like (exemplars)?\nThe financials (Full economic funding\, research assistants\, contingencies etc).\nPutting it all together: the narrative\, the financials and the proposed outputs.\nSuccess! Responsibilities of a PI\, budget codes\, end of grant reports.\nNext steps.\nQ&A and individual advice.\n\nInterested? Places will be limited to 25 participants\, first come first serve! \nTo register please follow this link! \n

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "Seaweed: to farm or not to farm?"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships Network for another free online Speed Networking event over lunchtime! After a 10 minute introduction to this month’s theme\, the Speed Networking begins and you will be paired up with different people for 7 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nOur aim is to connect people and foster collaborations. Ocean Partnerships recognises the need for practitioners from different disciplines to interact\, exchange experiences and ideas. Based on key marine related themes\, our events are designed to provide opportunities for people from the sciences\, arts\, policy\, private and public sectors to discuss topics of interest\, network and just have fun! \n  \nThis month’s theme: “Seaweed: to farm or not to farm?”\nSpeaker: Dr Andrew Blight\, Lecturer at the School of Biology\, University of St Andrews \nThere is growing interest in the sustainable use of seaweed or seaweed products for use in food\, skincare or other health industries. Much of the industry in Scotland is based around wild harvest of seaweeds from intertidal habitats. However\, there is growing interest in the development of nearshore seaweed farms to boost this industry. \nWild harvesting or seaweed farms are viewed as sustainable practices which utilise what is considered to be an abundant ocean resource. This discussion session will examine some of the benefits and potential impacts of this industry and what can be done to make sure this practice remains sustainable. \nJoin us as we examine some of the benefits and potential impacts of this industry and what can be done to make sure this practice remains sustainable. \n*Register Here!* \n  \n \nNot yet subscribed to the Ocean Partnerships Newsletter?

SUMMARY:SMMR-Net Webinar "Fishing for Information: Why and How to work with Fisherfolk?"
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources Network is excited to host Clara Ortiz Alvarez and Sohini Dudhat from the University of St Andrews\, Scotland\, for this free online Lunchtime Webinar! \nJoin us while we explore this month’s Theme: \n \nFishing for Information: Why and How to work with Fisherfolk?\nFrom our experiences of working with fishing communities in India and Peru\, we will be talking about how to tap into the traditional knowledge of fishers\, what motivates them and how they can contribute to the conservation of marine megafauna.  \nClara Ortiz Alvarez is a PhD student at the University of St Andrews. Her research focuses on the conservation of the Burmeister’s porpoise and its interactions with gillnet fisheries in Peru. She completed her Masters in Marine Biology at James Cook University and has worked in marine conservation and the interaction of marine megafauna with fisheries for 7 years\, before starting her PhD. \nAlso a PhD student at the University of St Andrews\, Sohini Dudhat’s work focuses on strandings of marine mammals and turtles in Oman. After completing her Masters from Pondicherry University in India she continued to work in India for 5 years on seagrass and coral ecosystems before starting her PhD in Scotland.  \n  \nJoin us for this free Webinar and Register Here!\n

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "#IESTurningTheTide: Working across disciplines"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nJoin us for this week’s Speed Networking event: an exciting first-time collaboration between Ocean Partnerships and the Institution of Environmental Sciences! After a 10 minute introduction the Speed Networking begins and you will be paired up with different people for 7 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nThis Week’s Theme: “Working across disciplines and sectors to solve environmental challenges”\nSpeaker: Dr Kathryn Fradera\, Howell Marine Consulting \nWithin the wide array of marine-related disciplines we all have our niches and specialties\, and we all have important roles to play in the offshore projects we help to make happen. In our focus on our specialties are we risking limiting innovation and problem-solving? The environmental challenges we face need joined-up thinking\, and nowhere is this truer than with the large-scale developments\, and conservation challenges\, in our marine spaces. We need solutions where the engineering design is compatible with environmental protection. Interested? \nMore Info on Content and Registration Here! \n  \n \nNot yet subscribed to the Ocean Partnerships Newsletter? Our aim is to connect people and foster collaborations.
