U21 Staff opportunities

Universitas 21 offers a number of opportunities for staff at Glasgow:

• U21 Early Career Workshops
• Opportunities for staff places to attend core student international events and develop partner links
• Applications for funding from U21
• Participation in U21 groups.

Glasgow's membership of U21 offers our staff an opportunity to reach new contacts at member institutions (and for U21 members to contact us) thus building links between universities to facilitate greater international collaboration between members, such as the sharing of resources and learning materials.

For information on attending events or for help in making contact with Universitas 21 members, please contact:

Early Career Researcher Workshops

Supporting and nurturing the career of early career researchers is an important new part of U21 work and one that Glasgow fully supports. Each year there are plans for two thematic workshops to bring together staff from all over the U21 network.

Early Career Workshop 2012: Ecological Urban Design

Shanghai Jiao Tong University, CHINA, 5th-6th December 2012

3 Glasgow researchers will attend the ECR workshop in December: Dr. Tim Barker who is Lecturer in Digital Media at School of Culture and Creative Arts, Dr. Yupin Chung who is Honorary Senior Research Fellow in History of Art and Dr. Hong Liu who is Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Finance at Adam Smith Business School.

The 2011 U21 Early Career Workshop took place at the University of New South Wales. Glasgow sent two researchers to this event.  Four early career researchers from Glasgow also took part in the U21 Workshop on Healthy Living at the University of Birmingham in December 2011.
