1) 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.

3) Addressing the professional development needs of PRISMs
Wednesday 16 July 2025, 13:00-14:00
PRISMs play a pivotal role in advancing research initiatives. However, the professional challenges faced by PRISMs are often poorly reflected in the training and development opportunities offered by research institutions. But what would help PRISMs navigate the particular challenges they face and how can we best advocate for this support to be adopted by our organisations? This session will explore the innovative ways that PRISMs, their supporters and funders are addressing the gap in professional development support for PRISMs. It will provide opportunities for attendees to share what they have tried, discuss what works (and what doesn’t) and start conversations and connections with others interested in this topic.
