Agenda and Schedule for the SEPnet Video Conference Launch Date: May 17th 2010 Time: 1330-1745 Locations: The SEPnet Videoconference suites in the Physics Departments at the: • University of Kent • Queen Mary, University of London • Royal Holloway, University of London • University of Southampton • University of Surrey • University of Sussex • Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Oxfordshire Goals: • Celebrate the successful commissioning of the SEPnet Videoconference suite • Showcase the power of the VC facilities for SEPnet collaboration and Teaching • Share success stories and progress in SEPnet on science and collaboration • Further Outreach goals to inspire Physics careers in schools • Achieve PR and Media coverage for SEPnet Science and Outreach (if possible) Agenda Time Topic Leader Location 1330 Introductions James West TBD 1340 SEPnet Vision Bill Wakeham QMUL 1400 SEPnet Research One of the HoDs TBD Collaborations 1405 Radiation Detectors and Antonella De Santo Sussex Instrumentation Paul Sellin Surrey 1420 Astrophysics Mike Smith Kent TBD Sussex Southampton QMUL 1450 Particle Physics Norman McCubbin RAL TBD Southampton Sussex QMUL RHUL 1520 Atomic and Condensed Anne Tropper Southampton Matter TBD RHUL QMUL Kent Surrey Sussex 1550 Teaching Experiences: Ortwin Hess Surrey Euromaster 1605 Break 1630 “Black Holes, Wormholes Jim Al-Khalili Surrey and Time Machines” Invited audience of Year 10 GCSE students and teachers 1730 Wrapup and Thanks James/Bill 1745 Finish Refreshments at each location? Audiences: For the first part (1330-1605): • All SEPnet Fellows and PhD Students • All Heads of Department • All Theme Chairs and Theme participants • Invited Academics (Heads to nominate) • Oxford and Portsmouth collaborators • Outreach Officers • SEPnet Directors • PVCs (invited, but optional) • Departmental/University PR contacts • Invited Press Given the timings it is unlikely we can have presentations on each topic from each partner location but wish to ensure each participating location can contribute to each theme discussion. Second Part (1630-1730): • Invited GCSE students and teachers (to be invited by Outreach team) • Outreach Officers • Heads of Department • Theme chairs • One or two SEPnet Fellows (depending on capacity could have more) • Departmental/University PR contacts • Invited Press In this part Jim will spend roughly 30 minutes on the “Time Travel” theme, about 15 minutes to cover a discussion on a career in physics from his experience and 15 minutes Q&A, ideally with a question from each location. We will also give Jim bullets of SEPnet related goals for him to weave into his presentation. Dry Run There will be a dry run on the 10 th May from 11am to 12 noon. This is more to ensure the technology works as expected not to run through presentations. Ideally, all who are planned to speak should attend if possible to ensure familiarity with the equipment. .

Gradnet Regional Physics Phd
© CERN GRADnet Regional Physics PhD YourProfessional training Development programme for Physicists Your training programme What is GRADnet? Advanced physics training, and development of professional skills are integral parts of any PhD research programme. The skills developed enable you to advance your research, but they are also the skills needed by future employers: both academic and industrial. Funding bodies and Universities set minimum levels of training that you will be expected to undertake. The training you require will depend very much on the topic of your research and on the skills you have already. That training will come from a diverse range of sources including your Department, your University, and your supervisor’s collaborative networks. It will be accessed as seminars and lectures, workshops, schools, and a range of other activities. GRADnet is the collaborative graduate school of 10 South East England Physics Departments (SEPnet). It has been set up by the Departments to offer you a wide range of advanced Physics training from leading experts in their field. Moreover, it provides professional skills training made relevant to physicists with emphasis on those skills needed by physicists. Much of the training is offered in residential workshop format to ease delivery and timetabling alongside your other activities and to enable you to network with other researchers from other Universities with similar interests. This brochure sets out the GRADnet programme for 2016-17. You should meet with your supervisor and decide which activities are relevant to you and those that you must take this year. You will then be able to register and attend them, free of any charge to you or your project funding.

Going Beyond the One-Off: How Can STEM Engagement Programmes with Young People Have Real Lasting Impact?

The aims of these interventions are often to positively affect students’ aspirations towards continuing STEM education and ultimately into STEM-related careers. Most schools engagement activities take the form of short one-off interventions that, while able to achieve positive outcomes, are limited in the extent to which they can have lasting impacts on aspirations. In this paper we discuss various different emerging programmes of repeated interventions with young people, assessing what impacts can realistically be expected.

Sepnet Partners
SEPnet Partners: Herts: Small is beautiful: Engaging Young Carers: An ongoing WP Programme by the Hertfordshire & Kool Carers Author: Mark Gallaway & Rachel Tungate Young Carers are one of the largest and most under-supported groups of young people in UK society today with only 20% of Young Carers getting any assistance from local Government. We discuss the impact that is careering for a sick relative has on these, children in regards to their both their physical and mental health and education. We look at the University of Hertfordshire’s long-term collaborative project with Essex based charity Kool Carers, its aims, its outcomes and the challenges that this group raises. The Open University: Quantum Enigma Authors: Katarzyna Krzyzanowska, Silvia Bergamini, Andrew Norton We will demonstrate the “Quantum Enigma” board game – a strategy game that we have developed based around the idea of quantum cryptography and quantum computing. In the game, players take the role of engineers, mathematicians, experimentalists and theorists to collaborate to build a working quantum computer, in order to break encrypted messages sent by the enemy during wartime. But one of the players is a spy who is trying to sabotage the project! Players learn about various aspects of quantum technology whilst racing against time to complete their experiments. Oxford: Spin, attract, levitate: A year in the life of a Quantum Materials Outreach Officer Authors: Kathryn Boast In the summer of 2017, I began working as the ‘Quantum Materials Outreach Officer’ for Oxford Physics. This newly- minted post has been funded as part of an EPSRC platform grant for the research of the quantum materials group.

These are created in collaboration with co-researchers, people with learning disabilities, working as part of an interdisciplinary research team. In many heritage contexts, exhibits incorporating interactive elements that are accessible to audiences use surrogates instead of original items, and are usually chosen by the curators rather than determined by the user-group. Many types of original objects are deemed to be too delicate to be handled by curators and in some heritage sites access to the objects is limited because of the complex nature of the site's environment.
