The events are open to researchers from all career levels and all disciplines, who may be interested in new collaborations, opportunities or building networks.
Professor Sarah Metcalfe said: “This Tri-Campus Research and Knowledge Exchange Series is the first event of its kind and supports our goal of building international partnerships.
“The sessions cover areas of research strength where each of our international campuses has strategic focus, reputation for excellence and tremendous potential for impact.
“By bringing our people together to share knowledge and spark ideas for innovative collaborations, we can form and strengthen cross-campus partnerships to grasp local, national and international opportunities.”
U21: welcoming early career researchers from around the world
The ‘health across the lifespan’ session, on Thursday 4 September, will also welcome 70 early career researchers from around the world who are visiting the University of Nottingham for a Universitas 21 (U21) ECR workshop. The week-long programme, which will involve our China and Malaysia campuses, aims to enhance international networking and encourage interdisciplinary collaborative research to solve complex societal problems. The university is a longstanding member of U21, a global network of 30 research-intensive universities.
