BREXIT & Events University to host series of events in relation to the EU and Brexit The first of these events will take place on Wednesday 23rd August and will be a panel discussion, allowing all members of staff to share their thoughts and ask any questions about the impact of Brexit on the university and it’s wider implications on the higher education sector. The event will be opened by our very own Mark Anderson, Director of the Europe Office, and a subsequent Q&A session will be chaired by the Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies CBE FRSE. This event will take place from 1pm to 2pm in the Deeprose Lecture Theatre, Govan Mbeki building. We will be hosting a funding workshop on the morning of Tuesday 29th August in H112 (9am) to promote opportunities for funding through the Erasmus+ programme. This is a great opportunity for those of you who may be interested in gaining an insight into how these projects work and the processes involved, as we will have academics in attendance that are currently involved in projects sharing their own experiences. There will be a light lunch at 12:30pm where will be serving Ibérico ham thanks to Pablo Lopez Alonso! Following lunch, there will be an opportunity to have a one-to-one session with Mark Anderson and Pablo Lopez Alonso on a specific programme or about a potential project idea that you may have. Please contact r.blincow@gcu.ac.uk to book a place. People Services will also host an informal drop-in session from 3.30pm on Monday, 4th September in the Staff Social Space. This is aimed at those of you who are EU nationals who may wish to discuss the implications of Brexit. The session will last around 90 minutes and the University’s lawyers Anderson Strathern will provide an overview of the implications of the UK government’s proposed policy ‘Safeguarding the Position of EU Citizens Living in the UK and EU nationals Living in the EU’. There will also be a general discussion to identify what support and advice you would like from the University in the future.
