The away day was a much needed opportunity for all academic staff and researchers to catch up in person, and for some it was a chance听meet their colleagues in the flesh for the first time.

The day kicked off with a group activity to foster reconnection and creativity,听allowing everyone engage and have fun together after a long and trying period of remote working.

Groups were challenged to create a unique digital stop motion animation sequence based around a theme. They first had to create a storyboard, then take their chosen objects and digitally听record them moving through a series of small sequential steps. The winning team were given the theme 'Increasing Societal impact' and created an animation called 'Navigating choppy waters' using a lighthouse analogy to show how our taught and research programmes can be the impetus for solving听real world issues.

Each research theme lead presented their听strategy and future plans for their theme, exploring how the existing assets and methods will be expanded,听and how teaching, outreaching, and collaboration between groups/labs will be carried out in the next period.

Finally, all staff and researchers engaged in discussions on future priorities,听collaboration mechanisms, capacity and consolidation, and other collaborative topics.

BSEER Director Prof Neil Strachan said:

鈥�What a great event this was to reconnect with colleagues and finally meet face to face many folks that joined BSEER during the pandemic. I knew how technically and analytically excellent EI staff were, but I now also know how artistic and innovative their animation skills are!鈥�
