Expert Insight Series: A radical reset for nuclear regulation (and what it means for us)
Professor Sarah Sharples will be joined by Prof. Andrew Sherry and Mark Bassett, two members of the independent nuclear regulation Taskforce Last year, the Prime Minister established an independent Taskforce to review civil and defence nuclear regulation. The Taskforce treated this as a once in a generation opportunity to regulate nuclear energy...
Training course on visualisation and quantification of tomographic datasets
A 2 day in person training course covering theory and computer-based practical works using the Thermo Scientific™ Amira-Avizo Software. Lab/synchrotron X-ray tomography has emerged as one of the most important techniques for research in a wide range of applications including healthcare, energy, food and geology. Advances in the quality of X-ray...
Working with the Science Media Centre to make evidence-based voices count
How scientists and engineers can shape the news, tackle misinformation and make evidence-based voices count in major public debates. A hybrid event hosted by the Dalton Nuclear Institute with the UoM Research Communications Network. We're pleased to welcome Tom Sheldon, Senior Press Manager at the Science Media Centre, who will share a behind-the-scenes...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Leadership & Team Building: Challenge-Led Hackathon
In a vast university setting, bringing together interdisciplinary researchers to tackle complex challenges is essential. These teams combine expertise from various fields, focusing on problems that cannot be solved through a single research lens. But how do you find colleagues with similar interests? How do you identify those willing to collaborate? Join...
Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
Digital Trust and Security Seminar: Dr Carolyn Swinney
Explore how Software Defined Radios expose & detect radio?frequency vulnerabilities across 5G, autonomous systems & critical infrastructure This event invites participants from all disciplines and backgrounds to come together, fostering interdisciplinary connections and discussions. Talk Title: Software Defined Radios: RF Enabled Cyber Vulnerability...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Harnessing Storytelling to Amplify Research
How can we ensure our interdisciplinary research creates real-world benefits? At The University of Manchester, we recognise that transformative research requires not just technical expertise, but also strong collaborations across disciplines and authentic engagement with communities. This workshop explores how we can co-create research narratives...
Training course on advanced scripting and batching of tomographic datasets
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Co-Authorship: Rotating Roundtables
Co-authoring can offer significant benefits in interdisciplinary research bringing together experts from various fields to produce impactful publications. How can we effectively manage co-authoring processes to ensure equitable contributions and recognition? What best practices can we adopt to enhance collaboration and productivity? Join us to...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Research Ethos: Speed-Networking
Each research discipline has its own ethos—distinct ways of asking questions, applying methods, and communicating ideas. This diversity can sometimes feel like a barrier to collaboration, even within schools, let alone across the wider university. As interdisciplinary research becomes increasingly vital—driven by complex societal challenges...
