PODCAST: Spiking, R&D, COP26, specialist providers

This week on the podcast we consider the spate of “student spiking” stories and the student-led campaigns to improve safety in venues.

There’s also some new reports on research and development in the run up to the spending review, universities have been making climate commitments in the run up to COP 26 and OfS is consulting on funding for specialist providers.

With Rachel Hewitt, Chief Executive at Million Plus, Pete Quinn, inclusion consultant, Mike Ratcliffe, Academic Registrar at Nottingham Trent University, and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.
