Seeking fieldwork contacts at Glasgow and St Andrews - for potential survey distribution on fieldwork leadership experience

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, I am Iris Mair, a Chancellor's Fellow at the University of Edinburgh - with one foot in the immunology department and one foot in the ecology department, and a budding curiosity for social sciences perspectives. In co-creation with a fieldwork working group, a leadership coach with background in fieldwork safeguarding, and two artists with enquiry into fieldwork/research practices/mental health, we are developing a project application to a) gather community experience and wisdom on fieldwork leadership (survey), b) dive into major threads in a participatory workshop and c) run an exemplar fieldtrip to engage in situ with these themes, capture reflections through artistic and ethnographic methods, alongside leadership coaching. Our hope is to create a support package through various means to help current and future fieldwork leaders to feel better prepared for the challenges of leading in the field, and to raise awareness for the immense skills acquired and also the mental/emotional load shouldered by often very junior fieldwork leaders, to start conversations around structural/institutional support that may be beneficial. And here comes our question: Are you based at the University of Glasgow or St Andrews and engaged in fieldwork, and ideally within a fieldwork network? We are looking for contacts who would be willing to serve as local distributors of a survey link, so that our project can engage as many fieldworkers as possible. Thank you in advance! Please get in touch via e-mailing me at iris.mair@ed.ac.uk

Hello everyone, I am William Smith from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. I have an idea that I think would benefit users of FIB/SEM systems at all three institutions. I would love collaborators to help develop my idea of building a collaborative framework to advance knowledge exchange and sustainable skill sharing between the FIB/SEM facilities at Glasgow/Edinburgh, and St Andrews. The aim would be to create a lasting and impactful connection between the institutions, creating mechanisims to break traditional silos faced by technicians and researchers. Working together, we can share specialist techniques and workflows and improve our specialist training. This would be an excellent opportunity to facilitate collegial collaboration and enhance research at all three institutions. If you would be interested in discussing this further, email me at william.smith@glasgow.ac.uk

Hello, I am Catherine Lido, Professor of Psychology & Adult Learning, from the University of Glasgow, School of Education. I am passionate about intersectional inclusion in mixed-methods research and higher education teaching and learning practice. I am always happy to lend my experience and social psych background to help facilitate projects and initiatives of early career colleagues and postrgraduate researchers. I think the Culture Catalyst is an amazing opportunity to amplify marginalised voices in research spaces, and promote more transformational and inclusive research leadership approaches!

Hi I'm Katie from Edinburgh. Looking for anyone at University of Glasgow interested in being a named collaborator for a project looking at how menopause and research culture intersect via group discussions. You can be as involved as much or as little as you like - the minimum we are hoping for is someone to help share recruitment materials with their network at Glasgow. Perhaps someone in HR or wellbeing, a research adjacent role, a researcher, a student... would be great to hear from you at katie.marwick@ed.ac.uk

Hi, we are Emma and Daniel from the Institute of Genetics and Cancer Research Culture Group at the University of Edinburgh – contact us at research-culture@igc.ed.ac.uk

We are looking for collaborators and partners across all three Universities, to help us develop our project to empower research leaders to promote a positive research and collegial environment through lab handbooks.

Lab handbooks provide an excellent opportunity to catalogue the roles and responsibilities of those working in both wet and dry lab research environments.  Detailing the expected behaviors and group culture can promote collegiality, good research practice and a positive research culture.

Our project aims to promote the adoption of lab handbooks and assess their impact. We aim to do this by developing a workshop, generating supportive material, and analysing the impact of lab handbooks on group culture.

We we will work with an external partner to develop a "train the trainer" style workshop to empower members of the research community to lead on lab handbooks implementation in their local areas.

We seek enthusiastic individuals across the three Universities who would like to increase their training skillset by attending this planned workshop and deliver local training to their networks to help increase the reach of this project.

Hi,

I'm an inclusive research and EDI specialist at the School of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Glasgow. I have been piloting a small-scale project which works to co-create a framework for inclusive leadership in biosciences but I'd like to expand this to different disciplines and universities as part of this call. If you're interested in acting as a 'host' for your institution and to help me run trans-disciplinary co-creation sessions over the course of the funding, please email at me at emilymay.armstrong@glasgow.ac.uk

These are ideas that our InFrame analysts have asked us to pop up for future iterations of the programme.

Open Research Scotland - Develop this organisation as a joined up Scottish platform for researchers and administators.

Copyright - Third party copyright in particular is often confusing.  Could we have some leadership and run some events/provide a service across the 3 organisations? Possibly involve CREATe at UofGlasgow.

Data Availability Statements - good practice drive

Hello, we're Valerie and Mary from the RIM team at the University of Glasgow. We can be contacted at research-datamanagement@glasgow.ac.uk

We are interested in getting some work done around data availability statements. Only c40% of research papers contain data availability statements (DAS).  The quality of the statements vary.

Could there be a programme of work to support individual authors when drafting their papers to ensure that valid DAS are captured. Possibly through college/schools or a pilot thereof?

We could also leverage the reports that we have and improve upon them exploring standardisation across the 3 organisations .

Policy to practice - demystifying data sharing

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, we're Mary and Valerie from the RIM team at the University of Glasgow. You can contact us via research-datamanagement@glasgow.ac.uk

Our first idea is around the reasons why some people still don't share data or work openly, despite there being (many) policies in place, with training, support and infrastructure available. We would like to see something done to really delve into the reasons why people don't share, and debunk any myths that still persist (fear of being scooped, thinking that it's a lot of work for no return, too difficult to achieve etc). This might result in a set of case-studies conducted in the three participating insitutions showing why working openly is beneficial, across a range of different research areas and practices.

I currently work for ISG as a Linux system administrator and I've previously worked as an engineering technician. I am interested in getting involved in field research projects with my technical expertise. I am particularly keen on environmental research which exists across both the sciences and the humanities which also has a field-work element. I would like to use my skills outside the "IT" sector.

Hi, my name is Danielle and I'm currently the Research Culture Specialist/Pathfinder Lead in the Research Culture & Researcher Development team. Some ways in which I may be able to contribute to a project:

--writing, editing and comms (if you're looking for someone to write up or edit some components of the project, I'm typically a confident and speedy writer)

--coaching: I'm an ICF certified coach, and could offer a mini "coaching conversation" for getting unstuck, thinking through project aspects, or reflecting. https://coachingfederation.org/about

--Leveraging the value and impact of your project in CVs, cover letters, and interviews. I have experience providing 1-1 careers support and could potentially offer support with project team members describing their project contributions to support their own career development
