The Public and Community Engagement with Research (PCER) team in Research Services is once again celebrating colleagues doing brilliant public and community engagement work. Building on the success of last term, we’ve reopened nominations and are asking you to nominate people who you think deserve to be recognised.

Oxford University Club Cricket Club (OUCCC) is a friendly and inclusive cricket club for Oxford University staff, graduate students, and alumni, and we’d love to welcome new players this season. We play relaxed 40-over fixtures almost every Sunday from April to September, take a break in July for our popular mini T20 World Cup, and run weekly outdoor nets from February onwards (weather permitting). Players of all abilities are very welcome.

As Ramadan will fall primarily within term time this year, the University Equality and Diversity Unit (EDU) has collated a list of spaces that can be available for prayer for staff and students who may be on-site in department buildings. In our case that means S0.30, at the far end of the South Side.
