| News from Head of SchoolEPSRC Visit to Manchester 11th/12th FebruaryThe university has a “Framework Agreement” with the EPSRC, as one of the 12 largest recipients of EPSRC funds. For details of framework agreements see here .
As part of this agreement, the EPSRC will be visiting Manchester en masse on 11th and 12th February; this is a good opportunity to hear about EPSRC plans in general and in specific areas, to discuss priorities and practices, and to get to know EPSRC staff in workshop settings. There are also sessions on how to write impact plans. The full programme is available at here .
Of particular relevance to the school are sessions on digital economies, imaging and the life sciences interface. There won’t be many better opportunities to engage constructively about future directions with our largest source of research funding, so staff who are able to attend some or all of the event are encouraged to register at here . Roger Hubbold Retirement PartyLest you forget, on Monday 25th at 3:00 in the Staff Common Room there will be an opportunity to commemorate Roger’s many contributions to the school and university over more than 35 years, and to join him in the sort of activity depicted.
