The next round of membership applications has just opened for the UK Young Academy; an organisation which brings together the UK’s emerging leaders from industry, academia, medicine, education, business, the arts and other professions to work on projects in the public interest. The UK Young Academy connects and develops talented individuals in the early years of their career from a wide range of sectors so they can collaborate to make a difference in the world. Find out more and apply.
Professor Inger Mewburn is aiming to reach 1,000 participants for her team's study on academic work habits. This study will help us better understand the experience of all academics and how to make our workplaces better. You can register to participate here.
If you’re looking for ways to meet new people, give back to the local community, and develop some new skills, volunteering could be your answer. There are a wide variety of summer volunteering opportunities on the Warwick volunteering pages.

Over the summer, Research Refresh will take place weekly as always, however, the third floor of the Library will be closed from 12 August – 20 September. We will therefore be relocating Research Refresh to the PG Hub during this time. PG Tips will also continue to take place weekly on Tuesdays in the PG Hub.
