📧 Upcoming important email regarding ORCiD
As part of Newcastle University's commitment to making sure our researchers' work is properly recognised and visible, we are taking part in a process to confirm applicable employment affiliations on ORCiD records.
If you work in research, you will receive an email on 24 September from ORCiD asking you to confirm information that we have asked to be added to your individual ORCiD profile. This action aims to increase efficiency and confidence levels of the credentialing process on ORCiD profiles.
Read the PGR Noticeboard for more information and details on how to update your ORCiD record once the email has been received.
Student Health and Wellbeing offer a wide range of services and resources for PGR students including 24/7 help via our Talk Campus app.
Through the app, PGRs can link to a global peer support community. Any PGR in high distress or crisis can receive telephone support from a counsellor. Counsellors are available 24/7 in over 27 languages. Download the Talk Campus app now.
This replaces the Health Assured helpline PGRs may have used in the past.
You are invited to a special event celebrating five years of the Newcastle University Academic Track (NUAcT) Fellowship Scheme.
We want to highlight the achievements of our fellows and acknowledge those who have supported the scheme.

Join us in celebrating their success and contributions!

📅 Date: Thursday 17 October 2024 🕑 Time: 13:00-15:30 📍 Location: The Core, Newcastle Helix site
Note: There is limited capacity for this event. Places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis and a waiting list will be implemented once capacity is reached.
