IASH Fellows and Affiliates are welcome to join the following training event:
The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences is pleased to announce a training event for ECA staff and postgraduate students on open access publication for practice-based research. This event comes out of research completed as part of the CAHSS Open Access Portfolio Project, which has run from August 2023 to May 2024. The project aimed to make the practice-based portfolios of ECA staff submitted as part of REF2021 published on an open access platform.
The Institute is increasing the standard bursary for early-career and postdoctoral Fellows from August 2024, in light of ongoing financial pressures in the UK, and especially Edinburgh's increasingly expensive property rental market.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the publication of Environmental Ethics and Medical Reproduction (Oxford University Press, 2024), a new book by former IASH Fellow Dr Cristina Richie (Centre for Technomoral Futures at the University of Edinburgh's Futures Institute).
