Sex and History

Submitted by sexandhistory on

The Sex and History project, which is part of Sexual Knowledge, Sexual History at the University of Exeter’s Centre for Medical History, draws upon the world-leading research of Dr Rebecca Langlands and Professor Kate Fisher to meet the need for effective sex and relationship education. It empowers young people to discuss pressing contemporary issues in a supportive environment. At its heart is a methodology that uses historical objects from past cultures such as ancient Rome or China as a springboard for discussion, debate and creative responses.

University of Nottingham: The Periodic Table of Videos and Sixty Symbols

Submitted by meghangray on

The Periodic Table of Videos (PTOV) and Sixty Symbols (SS) are a collaborative effort between video journalist Brady Haran and the School of Chemistry and School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. Our two collections of several hundred short videos on scientific topics are hosted on YouTube and are available through our dedicated websites. The two channels have gained an enthusiastic global audience with over 29 million total video views. Though the initial goals of the projects were to produce one video for each element in the Periodic Table (PTOV) and 60 videos about the symbols used in physics and astronomy (SS), both projects have instead responded to a tide of viewer enthusiasm to evolve into ongoing projects far beyond their original scope.

Engage the Research Community

Submitted by susi_poli on

INTRODUCTION
The project has been carried out in the two departments at Bologna University since the late 2010.
The aims have been to introduce and promote research management among different target-groups of participants within the departments: researchers, PhD students and research fellows, on the one hand, research managers and support staff on the other. Dealing with research and its management means to raise issues making both the content and the frame of the term, from the knowledge of grants to financial regulations and bids writing, among others.
