On Wednesday 29th January, the Doctoral Training Partnerships and Centres for Doctoral Training were launched at a conference at the University of Nottingham.
This training aims to teach researchers public engagement skills and opportunities for an EU-funded project. The goals are to help researchers communicate their work to non-experts, and to give insight into challenges of raising public awareness of research. An exercise has participants explain their research to each other in 90 second presentations to practice these skills.

1) The document discusses the developing role of Professional Congress Organizers (PCOs) as both logistical experts and providers of continuing medical education and continuing professional development (CME-CPD).
2) As CME-CPD requirements have increased, PCOs have had to shift their paradigm to focus more on being compliant CME-CPD providers in addition to their logistical roles. This has required establishing new offices, tools, and procedures around topics like disclosures, timelines, and independence from industry influence.
3) The speaker emphasizes that truly embracing this new role as a CME-CPD provider takes real change over time through increased collaboration between stakeholders and a focus on substance over form
This document summarizes a presentation about researching human rights and health care at the Library of Congress. The key points are:
1) The researcher's work focuses on the relationship between lack of access to health care and quality of life, and arguing for health care as a human right.
2) At the Library of Congress, the researcher found an enormous array of resources and uninterrupted research time, which allowed doubling the sources used within three months.
3) The research outcomes included papers for conferences and the researcher's thesis, with more sources read than originally anticipated due to the Library's collections.
The Peer Review College (PRC) is a group established in 2004 by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to provide peer review of research funding applications.

This document discusses a project examining the role and purpose of academic books in serving scholarship and learning. The project has two phases: the first involves literature reviews and evidence gathering to understand issues, and the second establishes a community coalition to conduct focused mini-projects. The goal is to investigate opportunities and challenges of technological developments while extensively consulting the academic, publishing, and library communities. The project aims to sustain and enhance the impact of arts and humanities research by navigating breadth and depth of impact from all perspectives.
The HEFCE Monographs & Open Access Project was set up to identify and clarify issues around making monographs openly accessible online, taking a long-term perspective beyond REF 2020. The project examines the culture of monographs in the humanities and social sciences, whether there is a crisis for the monograph form, and how publishing innovations and access models may impact monographs. The project has convened an expert group, conducted research including focus groups, and will report findings to HEFCE in late 2014. Key issues being considered include the role and definition of the monograph, peer review and quality standards, licensing models, and ensuring a balance of private and public benefits from any new models.
The document summarizes a report on challenges for early career researchers (ECRs) pursuing academic careers in the arts and humanities. It finds that 92% of ECRs on fixed-term contracts expressed career concerns, compared to 60% on permanent contracts. ECRs felt short-term posts hindered skills development and publishing. While universities said they supported ECRs, ECR perceptions did not match this. The discussion focused on how subject associations and AHRC could help address issues like mentoring and networking to share experiences. Some initiatives provided resources for unemployed PhDs or supported early career historians.
The AHRC launched a major new funding initiative in modern languages: the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) on12th May 2014 in London. It provided an opportunity for academics and partners to learn more about the initiative and to network with other organisations, prior to releasing a call for Expressions of Interest. These are the slides from the launch event.
On Wednesday 29th January, the Doctoral Training Partnerships and Centres for Doctoral Training were launched at a conference at the University of Nottingham.
A town meeting was held at the British Library to launch the call for The Academic Book of the Future. This call, in association with the British Library, relates to the AHRC's Digital Transformations in the Arts and Humanities Theme. The call’s aim is to explore the future of the academic book in the context of open access publishing and the digital revolution. A single consortium will be funded through this scheme, with total project costs up to a value of £450k FEC, with AHRC providing 80% of the costs, and lasting up to 24 months from October 2014.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Maja Maricevic on the academic book of the future project. The project will explore the future of academic publishing, including monographs and edited collections, considering changing technologies and open access. It will address implications for book production, research and publishing processes, libraries, and readers. The British Library is committed to collecting and providing access to scholarly content, including digital formats, and their role in the project includes advising, collaborating, and sharing expertise.
