External Champion to RCUK Global Uncertainties Programme

Abstract Dr Tristram Riley-Smith will act as External Champion to the Global Uncertainties Programme. The key methods to be used in this work are: analysis, networking, advocacy, and the deployment of tools designed to develop and support collaborative partnerships: he will apply his strategic skills and knowledge of research needs to identify accredited research projects that are of potential interest to users; he will also seek to identify significant gaps; he will use his networking skills to develop and work with contacts in RCUK, research establishments and end-user communities; GU Leadership Fellows represent a particularly important community, here; he will employ his communications and leadership skills to look for - and create - opportunities to deliver consistent messages that promote impact-focused research and collaborative working; he will work to raise understanding among end-users about the open-ended and uncertain nature of cutting-edge research, while encouraging researchers to realise the need to turn blue-sky thinking into applied tools, techniques and insights; he will draw on the insights gained over recent years to promote different approaches to enhance engagement, to include: portals, "speed-dating", workshops, Ideas Factories/Sandpits, conferences, research calls, data-sharing initiatives, research institutes, accelerators and incubators. Quality Assurance will be built into his activities by ensuring that the outputs from his work are subject to a review process from relevant stakeholders . He will also develop a Risk and Mitigation Plan.
