We’re nearly at the end of 2015 and just want to wish all CALRG members a happy festive period and hope you all have a lovely break. We’ve had an exciting few months since our re-launch and had some fantastic external speakers and discussions. We have attracted many new Twitter followers and hope to build on all these recent successes with an even bigger and better portfolio of activity next year.

With this in mind, we re-convene on Thurs 7th Jan 2016 with a seminar from Tim Coughlan, all about ‘Co-creating technologies to structure interpretation with museum and gallery collections’.

Hope to see you all there!

Best wishes from

Many thanks to Sheila MacNeill, who joined CALRG from Glasgow last week to discuss her experiences as an ‘open’ researcher. Sheila has kindly written a blog post about her time at the Open University, which you can find here.

If you missed CALRG last week, you can find the recorded version of Sheila’s talk below.

Sheila MacNeill’s CALRG talk

We celebrate the start of the new CALRG season with a welcome session on 8 October 2015, 11am-12pm in Meeting Room 1, Jennie Lee Building.

This session will introduce all those new to CALRG (including our new PhD and MRes students) what CALRG is, its history, its activities – including the summer conference – and what people will get out of being part of the CALRG community.

The event is being hosted by the CALRG organising committee and will also feature a presentation by Regius Prof. Eileen Scanlon about the 35-year history of CALRG.

Welcome to the new CALRG website. We moved over to WordPress from our old Drupal-hosted site in the summer of 2015 and look forward to sharing a much more interactive and updated site with you than before.
