1) National survey of PRISMs

Survey open until 1 May 2025
The PRISM Network was launched in 2020 and has grown to 1000 members in 5 years. Our membership has more than trebled since our first membership survey in 2022, which gave us the data about PRISMs we use on our website. So it's time to get an updated picture of PRISMs and their roles in the UK. If you work as a PRISM, whether you're a member of the network or not, please complete our survey, which will take approximately 10-15 minutes. The survey will be open for 3 weeks.  
 

2) #IAMREMARKABLE

#IAmRemarkable workshop to boost confidence and share success! We are often not comfortable at sharing our achievements so this workshop aims to break that mould and get us moving into being more confident. We talk through the barriers to vocalising this and how we can work as a community to support each other and encourage ourselves to recognise the positive steps we are making in our personal and professional lives. Members only event - join the network and email us for joining details.

4) Managing your digital footprint and evidencing the impact of your work

Wednesday 2 July 2025, 12:00-13:00
PRISMs frequently must move projects, disciplines, and institutions throughout their portfolio careers. They also create a dazzling array of non-academic outputs (reports, posters, evaluation materials, presentations etc) that would be of benefit to others. Dr Kirsty Ross (Industrial Liaison, School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews) has 20 years’ experience working in HEI across Scotland. In this practical workshop, she will introduce you to practical methods for managing your digital footprint and evidencing the impact of your work, complementing institutional repositories such as PURE. Members only event - join the network and email us for joining details.
