&lt;p&gt;Violence against women and girls is a national crisis, with experiences of domestic abuse devastatingly common in our society. Did you know that &lt;strong&gt;1 in 4 women&lt;/strong&gt; over 16 will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime?&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recognise the signs of domestic abuse: &lt;/strong&gt;understand the types of abuse and coercive control, and learn what makes a relationship healthy and respectful.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be&amp;nbsp;a supportive active bystander:&lt;/strong&gt; get equipped with the knowledge to know if you&amp;#39;re witnessing abuse, and confidently and safely support that person, helping to create a safer community for all.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These sessions are open to all students of all genders, and may be of particular interest to students conisdering careers in healthcare, social work teaching, or supporting others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s about enjoying being outside in our beautiful campus altogether rather than finishing as quickly as you can (but feel free to sprint if you&amp;rsquo;d like!).&amp;nbsp;So, whether you&amp;rsquo;re donning your trainers for the first time, getting involved with some outstanding fancy dress or simply taking a stroll with your friends, anything goes &amp;ndash; &lt;strong&gt;it&amp;rsquo;s 3K your way!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you&amp;#39;re planning to make a day of it, or joining us in your lunch break, we&amp;#39;ve got you covered with our on-site bag drop and group warm up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.entryhub.co.uk/2026-uob-xtra-campus-3k"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Book your space now&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re taking part in this year&amp;rsquo;s Campus 3K Your Way, you&amp;rsquo;ve got the perfect chance to go beyond the finish line and make a real impact. By setting up your own JustGiving page, you can help boost our annual giving day, Birmingham Gives, and raise vital funds that support talented young people to access a Birmingham education, whatever their background. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/alumni/giving/birmingham-gives-2026" title="https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/alumni/giving/birmingham-gives-2026"&gt;https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/alumni/giving/birmingham-gives-2026&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Getting started is simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Head to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/birmingham-gives-2026" title="https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/birmingham-gives-2026"&gt;Birmingham Gives JustGiving page&lt;/a&gt;, click &amp;#39;&lt;em&gt;Start fundraising&amp;#39;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;to get going&amp;nbsp;and personalise your page. Then share it with friends, family, and colleagues and invite them to sponsor your 3K.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Together, we&amp;rsquo;re aiming to reach a &amp;pound;3,000 target for Birmingham Gives and every step you take (and every pound you raise) helps us get there. This isn&amp;rsquo;t just a 3K, it&amp;rsquo;s a chance to open doors, create opportunities, and be part of something genuinely meaningful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The valeting includes cleaning, relubrication of the drivetrain, and minor tweaks to brakes and gears. Major work is not part of the valet service -&amp;nbsp;the team will recommend if any further servicing or repairs are needed, and these can be booked in for a later date.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;d like to take up this opportunity for a sparkling and smooth-running bike, here&amp;#39;s how the sessions will run:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although no prior bookings are needed, free valeting is limited to 30 bikes per day and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so please come early to avoid disappointment!

However, progress is not happening fast enough, and we urgently need to increase our collective abilities to face and work effectively with complex challenges. This is where inner development comes in - changing our thinking and behaviour to catalyse the transformation that is needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recognise the signs of domestic abuse: &lt;/strong&gt;understand the types of abuse and coercive control, and learn what makes a relationship healthy and respectful.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be&amp;nbsp;a supportive active bystander:&lt;/strong&gt; get equipped with the knowledge to know if you&amp;#39;re witnessing abuse, and confidently and safely support that person, helping to create a safer community for all.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Come along to the PGT Dissertation Conversation, a student-focused session facilitated by the Academic Skills Centre, where everyone brings a question or issue related to their dissertation to put to other PGT students.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ll be given time in small groups to share your thoughts and engage in focused discussion, shaped by thoughtful prompts and different perspectives. By bringing your own questions and advice, and hearing that of others, you&amp;rsquo;ll come away knowing how others would tackle your problem, and with suggestions for your next steps.&lt;/p&gt;

They are, however, increasingly competitive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This workshop aims to equip you with practical tips on how to write a strong research funding or fellowship application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As an academic in the twenty-first century, bidding for research funding is part and parcel of the day job. In the first half of the workshop we&amp;#39;ll be looking at identifying funding opportunities and writing techniques that can help you to put together a convincing bid. The second half will focus on a Q&amp;amp;A discussion with current academic staff who hold various postdoctoral fellowships, giving you the chance to ask any questions that you have.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Postgraduate Researchers only&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note: this event is focused on practical tips for current postgraduate researchers on writing research funding bids and fellowship applications; it will NOT cover applying for PhD funding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By the end of the seminar, you will be able to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Identify some of the main sources of postdoctoral research funding&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Recognise best practice in applying for postdoc fellowships and funding&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Apply tips from successful applicants to your postdoctoral fellowship applications&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Ask any questions you have about postdoc funding&lt;/li&gt;

This training session will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to become a Green Impacts Lab Accreditation (GILA) auditor, with full training provided by SOS UK. with breaks and self-study time built in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the training, you will spend some time reviewing the GILA work of staff who work in wet labs at the university and preparing questions to ask. You will then meet with the staff where you can ask questions and make final decisions on your audit, before feeding your results back to us. It&amp;#39;s a great opportunity to view real-world implementation of sustainability in the lab environment and workplace, and build new skills in communications, analysis and team work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The audits will mostly be in person, with some online, from the afternoon on Tuesday 9&amp;nbsp;June until the afternoon on Thursday 11&amp;nbsp;June, so you can put your new training into action straight away.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Experience of working in a laboratory will be helpful, although not essential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are committed to making our training as accessible as possible. If you have any requirements regarding accessibility, please let us know a week beforehand. Specifically, we can provide slides in advanced or in a particular format and suitable accessibility breaks.
