NERC IAA proposal UCL

第一个NERC影响奖UCL在2013年春天已经允许地理，地球科学，遗传学，进化和环境（GEE），从NERC资金受益的三个主要部门，以留住已经建立跨部门网络的工作人员，并加强了NERC资助的UCL社区内的联系。这使得这些NERC资助的科学家更容易接近，更能够与企业，非政府组织和政府接触。这一阶段已经促成了几个新的合作项目，这些项目由企业和/或非政府组织共同资助。鉴于NERC第一阶段对UCL的影响奖的成功，所有主要参与部门都希望继续并扩大他们的活动。他们将保留那些在NERC社区内获得经验并建立强大网络的工作人员。通过组织更多的活动和建立网站，将科学家与企业和其他有关各方聚集在一起，将继续巩固和加强正在萌芽的产生影响的文化。其中一项活动将汇集NERC科学家和编程专家，寻找分析大型数据集的新方法，帮助了解我们的生态。将制定一个持续专业发展课程，帮助社区和非政府组织提高抗灾能力和对灾害风险的认识。将开发一个创新的应用程序，以帮助从业者了解和可视化未来50年的气候影响。研究部门之间的联系一直是伦敦大学学院在IAA试点第一阶段活动的一个特点。UCL的目标是深化这一部门的跨合作，同时发展环境领域，这将成为NERC-汇款研究的虚拟中心，并将设在副教务长（研究）办公室内，并与UCL公共政策。这些中心职能旨在汇集与气候科学及其与公众和政策制定者的沟通有关的许多方面，并保护在UCL内建立的网络。

The first NERC impact award to UCL in the spring of 2013 has allowed Geography, Earth Sciences, and Genetics, Evolution and Environment (GEE), the three main departments that benefit from NERC funding, to retain staff that have built networks across departments and strengthened ties within the NERC-funded UCL community. This has made these NERC-funded scientists more accessible and more able to engage with businesses, NGOs and Government. This phase has already led to several new collaborations where projects are co-funded by businesses and/or NGOs.Given the success of the first phase of NERC impact award to UCL, all the main participant departments wish to continue and extend their activities. They will retain the staff that have gained experience and built strong networks within the NERC community. By organising further events and building websites aimed at bringing together scientists with businesses and other interested parties the budding culture of impact generation will continue to be embedded and strengthened. One event will bring together NERC scientists with programming experts to find new ways to analyses large data sets helping to understand our ecology. A CPD course will be developed to help communities and NGOs to improve their resilience to disasters and understanding of disaster risks. An innovative app will be developed to help practitioners to understand and visualise climate impact over the next 50 years.Liaison between research departments has been a feature of UCL's activity for Phase I of the IAA pilot. UCL aims to deepen this departmental cross-collaboration alongside the development of the Environment Domain, which will become the virtual hub of NERC-remit research, and will be based within the office of the Vice-Provost (Research) and alongside UCL Public Policy. These central functions aim to bring together a number of strands relating to climate science and its communication to the public and policy makers and safeguard the networks built up within UCL.
