Athena swan Coffee Catch up
Wednesday 22nd January at 10.30am in C222 of the BHF GCRC
In response to the recent culture survey and as a means of reconnecting again and connecting with new colleagues who have recently joined the SCMH, we are going to be holding a couple of coffee catch-up events throughout the year.
All staff and students are invited and encouraged to attend for a blether and a catch-up over tea/coffee (biscuits will also be provided!). This is an informal gathering where we just want to give people an opportunity to meet in person and see both familiar and new faces.
We hope to see you there!

January Challenge
Due to the success and positive feedback we had from those taking part over the last few years (even if it is only intermittently!), we are promoting the January Challenge again in 2025. Huge thanks to Katie Sutherland for populating the website with all of the challenges. You can find out what these are here. We’d like to offer the chance to complete the challenge from January 1st “Word of the Year” to any colleague who may wish to do so by having materials available at the planned coffee catch up on Wednesday 22nd January from 10:30-11am in C222 of the BHF GCRC. This one won’t be too onerous – it’s simply choosing your word of the year. What would you like to happen in 2025? More information about this challenge is available here.
SCMH Running Club
THE SCMH Running Club holds regular runs of 5–8km (at a social pace) usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays @ 5.30pm. Regular attendees are spread across all the SCMH sites and run times are flexible depending on the attendees and their schedule. The more people attend, the more they can run. Anyone is welcome and no one will be left behind! There is a Teams Page here: SCMH Running Club Team page and anyone who would like further details can contact Cara Trivett at c.trivett.1@research.gla.ac.uk

“Lived Experience” Academic Promotions Workshops for Staff in SCMH (and SMB)
Are you planning to apply for academic promotion in 2025 or 2026? The SCMH Athena Swan Career Development subcommittee and SMB EDI committee will be offering several people-focused promotion workshops according to career track on Wednesday February 5 between 2-3:30pm.
LTS staff workshop will be held in the Bower Building Seminar Room 248 from 2-3:30pm.
R&T and R-only staff workshop will be held in C222 of the BHF GCRC from 2-3:30pm.
**Please ensure you attend the correct workshop if you are interested in joining these invaluable sessions**
This is primarily aimed at those applying for promotion to Grade 8 or above but may also be useful for those going from G6 to G7 (although there is also the NERD committee event tailored to this – see details below). Here, a panel of people who have been through the process will be available to pass on their advice and experience (positive and negative) and top tips to ensure your application is as robust as it can be. We anticipate this session will be useful for all LTS, R only and R&T staff planning to apply for promotion this year or next year. Applications for academic promotion in 2025 open next week: you will find further information here.
