We’re excited to invite you to a series of hands-on World of Food cooking workshops, where colleagues (staff and students) will share personal stories about the food and culture that matter most to them.
Each workshop will include collaborative cooking, storytelling from our colleagues, and of course, enjoying the meal we’ve prepared together.
These workshops are a celebration of our rich cultural diversity, the values we share, and the joy of coming together. Food has a remarkable ability to connect us on a fundamental level, and exploring what it means to each of us is a powerful way to build mutual appreciation and understanding.
You can sign up using the link below to participate in this year’s sessions. To ensure a fair process, each workshop has a registration deadline. After the deadline, participants will be selected through a lottery. Selected individuals will have 48 hours to confirm their spot. Any unconfirmed spots will be offered to those on the randomized waiting list.
All workshops will take place on Wednesdays in the Chemical Kitchen (Room 763, Chemistry Building, South Kensington):
Feel free to join individually or as a group – no cooking experience is needed, and everyone is welcome!
Spaces are limited, so be sure to register before the deadlines.
EarthScale: A new national programme to scale climate tech
We’re proud to be one of six partner universities delivering EarthScale, a bold new UK-wide programme supporting IP-rich climate tech startups and spinouts to scale to commercialisation.
Across the UK, high-potential climate innovations are emerging but too often, ventures stall between prototype and commercial success. EarthScale bridges that gap.
Backed by a powerhouse network of regional university hubs – Imperial College London, Cranfield University, the University of Derby, the University of Exeter, the University of Leeds and the University of Nottingham – the programme delivers:
If you’re developing a solution for net zero or climate resilience at TRL 5 – 6 and have raised seed investment, this is your opportunity to scale.
Applications open now until 7 September. Learn more and apply at www.earthscale.co.uk
Transformative funding to advance equality, diversity and inclusion in Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences
Apply for funding to support innovative projects that drive meaningful change in equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences (EPMS).
This funding call from the EPSRC EDI Hub+ seeks proposals that will implement, evaluate, and scale-up interventions and initiatives across three key themes: career pathways, research funding and processes, and organisational culture and space.
Who can apply?
To apply for funding, you need to be based at an organisation approved by UKRI. We welcome applications from a broad range of roles, including academic and research roles, professional enabling staff roles, grant managers, technicians and specialists, and those with relevant skills and experience. The flexible leadership model allows for multiple project leads, including job-share arrangements.
Funding opportunities
Funding is available for three types of projects:
How to apply
We will publish full details on how to apply when the funding opportunity opens.
How we will assess your application
Applications will be assessed by the EDI Hub+ Opportunity Review Panel based on impact potential, co-design approach, stakeholder engagement, and evaluation quality.

Options Group is hiring in for an important hedge fund client who manage >$10bn in aum. The client is looking to speak with entry level PhDs or Postdocs focusing on Machine Learning/AI, Math, Stats, Physics, Computer Science for various quant research roles based in London. Additionally, about the client’s search:
They are looking for exceptional generalists—either applied researchers or theorists with some coding experience. Historically, statisticians have been the most common hires, but last year they hired more pure math candidates than any other background. They’ve also brought on people with publications in machine learning journals and active GitHub profiles. Their hires include computer scientists, including those focused on theoretical CS. One of their Partners in London, for example, comes from a theoretical physics background..
Interested parties can contact Keith Macksoud (Options Group, Executive Director) immediately with a CV.
What’s your research carbon footprint? While the average person in the UK emits 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, many academics emit more than 15 tonnes. To maintain safe and equitable boundaries, the planet needs us to emit only 2 tonnes per year.
Why do academics emit so much more than the average? In this interactive and non-judgmental workshop, we’ll consider how our energy use, digital activities, travel, diets, consumer habits, and research practices all contribute to our emissions. We’ll cover:
By the end of this workshop, participants will have:
It’s never too late to get started! No judgement or pressure, just empowerment.
