They are events where researchers can find out about: key employment rights; the national fixed-term contract situation; where ӣ branches are making improvements for researchers; and how they can get involved. They can be delivered in a variety of ways depending on what you and your branches would like to achieve, including making it relevant for all staff employed on fixed term contracts. The main aim is usually to encourage researchers to become active and offer ways in which they could do this - from small tasks to training to become a rep. They can also be used to: recruit researchers by making the workshop open to all; publicise a recent agreement or current negotiations; campaign to get researchers issues on the negotiating agenda; set up a group of researchers willing to plan and carry out recruitment and campaign activity; develop a network of researchers willing to be contacts. The presentation can be delivered on its own and adapted to suit your needs by cutting down or adding local information. Alternatively, it could be part of a workshop that also includes a session delivered by a branch officer explaining the local situation for researchers and a BDO delivering a session on organising. The event can be regional or organised for a particular branch. The researchers workshop presentation outlines employment rights and how to exercise them; raises awareness about what ӣ is doing for research staff; and offers ways for members to get involved with ӣ to address their issues. The presentation is a template that you can amend to suit your requirements depending on local circumstances and what you are aiming to achieve. It could be delivered in a meeting lasting up to 1 hour or as part of a longer workshop. If it is part of a longer workshop, possibly 3 to 4 hours, it could include a session on nationally agreed key policies and/or guidance. One example of a workshop agenda could be as follows: 1pm Lunch/refreshments.
