Observers of yesterday's lunar eclipse were blessed with the first known sighting of a meteorite impact during such an event.

The so-called " super wolf blood moon " was eagerly watched by millions of people around the world, mostly via live streaming video. During the eclipse, some people noticed a tiny flash, a brief yellow-white speck, popping up on the lunar surface during the online broadcasts.

One Reddit user raised the possibility that this was a meteorite impact and others scoured eclipse footage for evidence ...

Mapping - going through heads of schools on an annual basis to keep community impact mapping up to date - internal emails problematic

Student engagement - student engagement not the issue but groups finding out about volunteers is the challenge

Building up long term relationships should be a priority

Separation between academic staff and prof services staff. Link this to student experience - how little opportunity there is to engage or participate in events with members of staff from an early stage in their degree programme. Lots of community work in 3rd and 4th year, 1st and 2nd year not the same opportunities.

Lack of communication between prof services and academic staff - need awareness 2 motivations: general interest in comm eng. 2: research funding - linking with industrial partners - better understanding of what academics need to do that duo we can better work together. Lots of academics doing comm eng but get no support. Not so much guidance but genuine help, resources, promotion, don't need training and advice.

Established programmes e.g. botanic gardens are easy to slot into. - uni could provide those sorts of contacts

Internal and external communications. Devolved institution.

Getting people together who are doing the projects

# data[].attributes.body
Improving awareness of internal support for students.

What resources and tools are available to facilitate community engagement? Embed this service into the insititution could improve student experience,

How can we better let students and staff know what projects are going on and how they can get involved. Didn't know about Ed Local website.

CE programme to tap into courses on outreach to show what partnerships are currently available.

Communication - didn't know about SRS and in second year and doing phd in renewable energy, let people know we exist.

More of a physical presence - more workshops like this to make people aware of what we do.

University is not the best at this. How students and staff link into community engagement.

Procurement community benefit - sponsor phd students, apprenticeships.

Student - difficult to get connection with schools.

CE now mandatory through City Deal

Fast Blade - ticks boxes for City Deal but not part of it directly currently.

Biology encourages to do some public engagement - but lack of time, focused on studies - how do we convince students to do more in comm eng.

Community engagement incorporated into curriculum.

France - university committed half day a week to community eng for students.

Often have to do group projects - could part of the researhc

St engagem

Postgrad MA - no community, only here for one year

Anecdotal feedback is that University doesn't do anything for community - out of hours meeting room is a practical way the uni could help. Not just meeting rooms, but larger rooms for community classes/kids to run around/sport and exercise. Number of facilities in the city are decreasing dramatically.

There is a line  - should a business  pay for facilities. Private schools opening up facilities to communities to keep charitable status.

Uni involved in film festival, science festival, doors open day - people at university that coordinate but sometimes feel there could be a strong level activity if there was more focus. Should the university be more proactive.

Beltane network good example of uni reaching out for staff to get involved. Could other coordinators of community engagement do the same?

Mapping - really useful to share - why are certain schools being targeted for certain opportunities - not a good way of sharing opportunity with other people/schools. Prioritisation needed - if deprived areas not getting opps - how todo we use resource to share with these schools/

Coordinate engagement in schools.
If we have events here, buses to attend/expenses. Or a roadshow

Personal, historical connections dominate engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
Internal support for staff and students - we've done a lot of work consolidating opportunities and facilities for how members of the community can engage with the university.

What are we doing to support staff and students who want to be involved in community engagement?

Creating tools and resources and making them available

Database of current partnerships that they can tap into. Coordinating work with partnership and schools

Example of a University in France that gave all students half a day to take part in community engagement

Creating a community for students, helping them feel part of the community would enhance student experience

Communication - community engagement and SRS - haven't heard of us. More physical presence needed

Why can't we just ban coffee cups?

Lots of chat about getting staff and students to lobby people to get rid of cups

It has gotten better but there are still buildings that don't have drinking water

Water fountain was a student priority

Warming stations where people can bring their own food

Lots of logistical chats about how we do things like cleaning cups or washing bowls etc

We are running out of time we need to make change quicker

It's like going back to the 60s when we had glass bottles

The Uni is trying to reuse things as much as possible

Even a basic inventory isn't necessarily done in every Department

Gordon who worked at Power Station said they used to have lots of different ways to reuse

Communication an obvious issue - lots of people should know about this stuff but maybe don't

What are the main priorities of the University that presentation had about 17 things on the first page

Materials are important

There are great things going on with food sharing and wee spoke hub

What do we do with polystyrene? Pallets?

Raised communication problem Kate needed boxes Richard had boxes

So many undergrads don't check emails

Directly contacting students in courses

Could we change the desktop in the background

Xavier did talk about how he would thought it would be annoying to be bombarded

Miscommunication about logging onto computers was raised

60 lab suppliers and we would need comprehensive solution as every supplier is different

Same with construction and it's super competitive so why would they all work together

The central hub needs a huge reuse hub as a way to actually create some kind of circular economy

ULab has a centralised booking for lab

Some lab selling has gone on but we need to do more

Fairphone announcement - good nudge and encouragement
supply chains are complex - how can we get the information we need
ESPD document and fair work practices are used in the procurement process. but can we do more?
In terms of visibility it is good to see products in University shops that are fairly traded. but beyond that perhaps more could be done to engage with students about other issues like fairphone.
more communication with direct suppliers would be beneficial - to enhance sustainability

EPCs and energy efficient standards for new builds - T46
Battery storage - heat and electrical.
Resilience - ensuring equipment and research is protected
Do we purchase energy from wind? Short answer is no
Metering and paying for your own energy (per school). not looked on favourably due to the risk of schools being penalised for being in inefficient buildings. Also it decentralises further, we should be coming together.
Energy and sustainability should be integrated more into curriculum.
Do we support projects on heat and renewables? Answer: not as much as we should
Buildings are poorly controlled and controls don't work in some cases.
Academics need to be involved in energy projects at an earlier stage
Schools/depts. should have more autonomy over controls
Uncertainly re KB building development masterplan is an issue.
Student auditing mentioned for energy - more should be done here
Living labs - ensure that the correct instrumentation is installed at Easter Bush PV site
Engineering is developing a low grade wind generator, we should be trialling technologies like these at the Uni through

importance of localised comms - heads of schools, etc.

work-life balance

COP 26 - work on making that more virtual

short-haul train travel OK

Heads of schools clarifying what is OK

offsetting what is unavoidable

funding councils - rethink requirements for travel

Arrange meetings in more middle-ish locations, a bit later

Importance of ensuring that virtual meetings allow for personal contacts, e.g. exchange of opinions e.g. via twitter

educating eusa school officers
educating in inductions

Culture change in academics - less of requirement for travelling for professional development

sometimes, travel to London OK
addressing travel to London not worth it - it's only 10%,
