Dear All, Hope everyone had a pleasant and productive summer! I have a number of items of information that need to be disseminated quickly - but also I am hoping to encourage people to use the mailbase. here goes: 1. The International sub-committee and the Research sub-committee meet at NISW on Friday 1st October starting at 10.30 (Int s-c) and 2pm (Res s-c). 2. The next stage of consultation over the RAE panels is taking place now. This one concerns the way the panels intend to conduct their business. Date for submissions 15th October. I am hoping that the Research s-c will prepare the SWEC response, but also every social work academic should ensure they make a response on behalf of social work through their institution. Ideally the Res s-c could put first thoughts on the mailbase - then we could all reinforce key points. 3. There is also an ESRC consultation exercise. This one is on the Thematic priorities. I don't know the date for submissions but I think it is in the new year. ALSISS is hoping to hold a seminar for all learned societies - but again reinforcement through institutional responses will be important. 4. date of next SWEC meeting 18th October. Please can all papers for circulation be sent to Jeanne and/or put on the mailbase. See you at the SWEC meeting.
