¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Communications & Marketing has produced this quick summary to help staff understand some of the key channels, many of which are brought together on the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº News homepage.

The Week@¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

The Week@¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, the weekly e-newsletter for all staff at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº was established in May 2011. In it you'll find key internal announcements and information, news and events. See previous issues on the Staff News page. The section of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº website also highlights news relevant to staff.

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Insights

This pilot fortnightly e-newsletter is aimed at key opinion formers such as MPs and senior figures in funding bodies. It aims to highlight the wide range of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº research and its impact on society and implications for policy. Example issues and subscription details can be found on the Insights website. Due to the nature of its distribution list, there is a fairly rigid structure for what can appear in ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Insights, but suggestions are welcome.
