about Cumberland LodgeCumberland Lodge was built shortly after the English Civil War by Captain John Byfield, one ofOliver Cromwell’s soldiers. After the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Byfield House, as it wasthen known, was taken over by Charles II and for much of its history was the residence of theRanger (overseer) of the Great Park. Those who have held this post include Sarah Churchill,Duchess of Marlborough, and William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland – after whom the buildinglater took its name.
Today, Cumberland Lodge is the home of a charitable educational foundation, which was granteduse of this former royal residence by George VI in 1947. The vision of Amy Buller, and under thepatronage of Her Majesty The Queen, the foundation supports students in higher educationthrough study retreats and educational mentoring, and runs a cross-disciplinary conferenceprogramme and other events that follow the Cumberland Lodge Rule:
In our discussions we seek to exchange views across academic disciplines and beliefs andconsider the ethical dimension of issues in order to make a positive contribution to society.
We ask all who take part in our events to embrace this rule, and to ensure that discussions areinclusive and respectful, particularly where there is disagreement.
We welcome others, too, to make use of this historic building and facilities for residential and non-residential meetings and special events, and host art exhibitions, concerts, lectures and‘Cumberland Conversations’ which are open to the public. In 2014 the Friends of CumberlandLodge was established, to create a community of those who value Cumberland Lodge and wantto be involved in its activities and support its development.
Steeped in the nation’s history and set within beautiful parkland, Cumberland Lodge is, above allelse, a place for exchanging views and inspiring minds.
Cumberland Lodge has developed a unique celebration of the postgraduate research culture inthe UK. Each year students are invited to hear doctoral graduates recount the life decisions theymade after their PhDs, as well as hearing from experts in higher education policy, communication,career development and impact.
PhD students from across the country are welcome to this forum to exchange ideas, practices,experiences and aspirations.
PhDs have demonstrable value both inside and outside academia, and the support networksestablished by these events have proved to be invaluable whatever the future holds.

Dr Jane Wright
Dr Geraint Wyn StoryGeraint runs his own business as a freelance training consultant, which meansthat he delivers training sessions like the one in this programme as a full-timecareer. Although his career is now in personal development, Geraint has abackground in academia and industry.
Geraint studied biology for his undergraduate and masters degrees atManchester, during which he carried out various projects with biotechcompanies. He then did his PhD at Clare College Cambridge, looking atbiotechnology solutions to the issue of plant salt stress.
During his PhD, Geraint became involved with his college as social secretaryand then president of the graduate society, captain of the graduate footballteam, and as many other things as possible instead of his research.
After submitting his dissertation in 2006, he worked as a manager in abiotechnology company in Cambridge, but still continued his tendency tocoordinate events, people and train others, rather than pursue his research.
After finally realising that research wasn’t playing to his strengths, Geraint thenchanged career direction taking up a role to coordinate and deliver transferableskills training and opportunities for postgraduate students in the University ofCambridge. This was a hugely varying role but exposed him to many things heloved including delivering training sessions, running residential courses, andcoordinating internships.
After six years, Geraint decided to leave and set up his own business -Cambridge Training Associates. In his first year he also worked part-time atQueen Mary University London on a project to improve, engage and retainundergraduate engineers, but he now spends all of his time on his business.
When not working, Geraint likes rowing and when time permits he dabbles asa guitarist, photographer, skier, surfer and brewer.

workshopsSuccessful Applications: from CVs to Interviews Dr Steve Joy & Katie HewittSteve and Katie will explain the similarities and differences in applying to positions both within andoutside academia. By working through the whole process from seeing a position advertised tocreating a CV and preparing for interview they will explain what's happening for recruiters andpanel members and offer insight into what makes a good candidate. Using their collectiveexperience advising science, technology, arts & humanities researchers they will offer somepractical hints and tips, and give you time to ask your own questions.
Public Engagement: what it is, why it matters, and how to do itDr Sally MarlowAs “impact” becomes as central to grant applications and the REF as the more traditional academicmarkers of success, we are increasingly being asked find ways to engage with the public and withpolicy makers. Everyone agrees public engagement is important, but it’s still an emerging area,and covers a wide spectrum of activities. In this session we will look at what public engagementactually means, and why it is important. We will also investigate and brainstorm what type(s) ofpublic engagement might be most appropriate and relevant for delegates, given their researchareas.

Public Speaking: Techniques for ImpactDr Geraint Wyn StoryYou’ve got your slides, you’ve practiced, and you even have some data to show, but how can youstand out? This talk is for everyone who has mastered the basics of presenting but wondered howto add that little bit extra that would transform it from an ordinary talk into one that people willremember. In this workshop we will look at a selection of surprisingly simple techniques, and trythem out ready for your own presentation later in the course.

delegate research presentationsThe vast majority of funding applications, fellowship interviews, and other academic job interviewswill require you to pitch your work to a panel of educated individuals who cannot be expected tohave specialist knowledge of your particular research field. Communicating effectively to mixedaudiences is therefore an essential skill. The delegate research presentation sessions aredesigned to provide an opportunity for you to present your research to an interdisciplinary audiencein a supportive environment. You will each have five minutes to present your research to the group,followed by five minutes for questions. For each presenter, the rest of the group will complete ashort feedback form that asks for suggestions of things that were done well and things that couldbe improved. Please load any powerpoints onto the computers in your allocated presentation room(see page 12) during the preparation hour at 09:00 on Thursday morning.

inter-disciplinary research proposalsIn your groups, you must work together to develop a collaborative research proposal based onyour real research expertise, which you will present to a funding panel who are looking to fundinnovative interdisciplinary research.
Your proposal must include the research expertise from every member of the group. This shouldbe more than simply the generic research skills that anyone from these disciplines might have. Itwill be up to your group to think not only about what your collaborative project will be, but alsoabout how you will demonstrate the ways in which it brings together your researchers’ uniqueexpertise.
The projects will be assessed by the judges on the following key criteria:• Innovation• Impact on society• Degree of collaboration• Clarity• Standard of presentation
You will have 1 hour 15 minutes to discuss your proposal and prepare your presentation. Pleasedo your preparation in the rooms listed on page 12, and be back in the Drawing Room for 17:45.
Your presentation should last no more than five minutes, after which your group will have fiveminutes to answer some questions from the panel – about your proposal and about your approachto collaborative working. Make sure that you leave enough time to rehearse your presentation, sothat you can be sure you do not over-run.
Each group will be competing against the other groups for the funding available. Only one groupwill be awarded the funding, so you must convince the panel that yours is the best project.
