SUMMARY:Co-Production "The Real PPI": Launching The Researcher's Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid event hosted at University of Aberdeen \nRegister here: Co-Production Toolkit Launch Event – Expression of Interest \nJoin Dr Michelle Sader (University of Aberdeen) for the launch of The Researcher’s Toolkit\, a valuable resource for researchers across disciplines. \nCo-production is a collaborative approach to research\, where people with both lived and learnt experience work together to conceptualise\, conduct and disseminate research. Co-production not only benefits a variety of different communities\, but is also increasingly sought after by academic funders and journals. As part of a previous workshop co-sponsored by the University\, the Scottish Imaging Network: A Platform For Scientific Excellence (SINAPSE)\, the Eating Disorders and Autism Collaborative and Alzheimer’s Research UK\, workshop attendees and organisers co-designed a 35-page resource toolkit focusing on co-production. This talk will provide an overview of research co-production and will focus on formally launching the toolkit\, an open-source and free resource aiming to guide researchers looking to implement participatory research approaches in their own work. We will also discuss examples with which researchers across disciplines can implement co-production\, as well as signposting our next steps and where the toolkit may be found. \n\n\n\nTime\nEvent\n\n\n11:00-11:05\nWelcome and Housekeeping\n\n\n11:05-11:30\nPresenting the Toolkit\n\n\n11:30-11:45\nWorked Example: Using the Toolkit in Practice\n\n\n11:45-12:00\nQuestions & Discussion\n\n\n12:00\nNext Steps & Closing

SUMMARY:LOCOS Seminar - Lieven Eeckhout: Sustainable Processor Design
DESCRIPTION:Low Carbon Computing Seminar \nLieven Eeckhout is a Professor at Ghent University\, Belgium\, and will deliver a LOCOS Seminar on Sustainable Processor Design. \nSustainability and climate change is a major challenge for our generation. In this talk I will argue that sustainable development requires a holistic approach and involves multi-perspective thinking. Applied to computing\, sustainable development means that we need to consider the entire environmental impact of computing\, including raw material extraction\, component manufacturing\, product assembly\, transportation\, use\, repair/maintenance\, and end-of-life processing (disassembly and recycling/ reuse). Analyzing current trends reveals that the embodied footprint is\, or will soon be\, more significant compared to the operational footprint. I will present a simple\, yet insightful\, first-order model to assess and reason about the sustainability of processors in light of the inherent data uncertainty. Applying the model to a variety of case studies illustrates what computer architects and engineers can and should do to better understand the sustainability impact of computing\, and to design sustainable processors. \nSee past and future LOCOS Seminars at https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/research/researchthemes/lowcarbon/

SUMMARY:Aberdeen GameJam 2026
DESCRIPTION:View full event details here. \nAfter the success of last year\, University of Aberdeen’s School of Natural and Computing Sciences will be running Aberdeen GameJam 2026\, this time in partnership with the History department! \nThe event is open to students at University of Aberdeen and any other Scottish University. Each participant will receive an Aberdeen GameJam 2026 t-shirt and Amazon vouchers will be awarded to winners in each prize category. \nAdditionally\, ABVentures and Common Profyt Games have sponsored prizes\, one for the Best Pitch\, and one for a category yet to be announced! \nThis year’s general theme is Games & History (so it might be a good idea to grab somebody who knows their history!) \nParticipants will have a week to develop from scratch a game on a more specific theme that will be announced on Wednesday\, 21 January 2026\, followed by an in-person event starting at 9am on Wednesday\, 28 January 2025 where teams will get feedback from judges. \nTeams will make a short presentation of their game starting at Noon and then judges will choose a winner for our prizes to be announced that afternoon.
