Workshops |
A programme of workshops with a number of potential audiences / user groups. The health and health care theme and its particular micro-econometric focus can be expected to attract research students (from Scotland and beyond) and health care policymakers, who are anxious to familiarise themselves with the latest techniques / research developments in this fast changing field. Some of these workshops will fit within the SGPE advanced training programme, which has recently been boosted by ESRC support through a Researcher Development Initiative grant.
Video-conference facilities are available to support these workshops. |
| |
| |
| |
Mini-conferences |
Presented over two days these will comprise a series of papers which report on new and emerging research findings from the Programme’s research projects. These workshops will also contain sessions devoted exclusively to the discussion and identification of new research areas and to developing research funding applications. There is limited funding available to subsidise travel, accommodation and subsistence for conference participants. |
| |
| |
| |
Funding Workshops |
Joint ‘research funding opportunity’ workshops. Short focused workshops with attendance of interested researchers from across the programme with a view to submitting Programme led (and thus credible in terms of critical mass) research grant applications.
Video-conference facilities are available to support these workshops. |
| |
| |
| |
Honorary Appointments and Visitor Support |
Researchers will be given facilities and time necessary to allow then to spend time at each other’s institutions. This will be facilitated by ‘honorary’ appointments of the type already operating between Aberdeen (HERU) and Dundee. |
| |
| |
| |
Junior Researcher Support and Joint PhD Activities |
Events, seminars, workshops, and training activities aimed at enhancing collaboration between junior researchers in the area of Work and Well-being. Senior appointments in Work and Well-being will participate fully in enhancing collaboration between the participating institutions, but it is also important for capacity-building purposes that more junior appointees and other researchers, including PhD students, also establish close research links.
Joint supervision and joint activities for research students - facilities will be established in each of the three universities to host research students from the other universities in the programme. Research students will be provided with the facilities necessary for working with researchers in different institutions. |

| |
| |
Joint Activities and Collaboration with BIC |
The research agendas of the Work and Well-being and Behaviour Incentives and Contracts (BIC) programme are complementary. The synergies will be realised by joint activities: |
| |
 |
Joint Seminars: The synergy between the BIC and WWB groups will be realised by holding a twice-yearly joint seminar of the groups bringing empirical economists and theoretical economists together to discuss issues of mutual interest in the areas relating to Work and Well-being. |
|
|
 |
Themed workshops: Presented over two days these will comprise a series of papers which report new and emerging research findings from the two programmes’ research projects in complementary areas. |
|
|
|
Joint PhD Activities: Joint supervision and joint activities for research students. Facilities will exist in Edinburgh to host research students from the universities in Work and Well-being. |
|
|
|
SIRE Centre Activities: The SIRE Centre will run a programme of activities, which exploit and develop cross-programme interests. |
