Ketso is an interactive, hands-on toolkit for bringing meetings and workshops to life. It is compact and portable, simple to use and accessible to everyone. Ketso extends people's ability to run effective and enjoyable workshops - virtually anywhere and in any setting. It encourages people to be creative and share in productive dialogue, while also generating real results that can be put into action. Ketso provides a set of tabletop tools that can be used to capture and display people's ideas. It consists of colourful 'branches', 'leaves' and other materials, which can be placed on a felt workspace and easily moved around in response to changing discussion. Ketso is robust and portable, and comes in a handy carrying bag, making it easy to transport to and from events. Ketso provides a series of free resources to help you run effective workshops and engagement processes - such as workshop plans and training videos in planning and running a workshop.

Open competition to fund projects relating to research staff development

This is a series of meetings where attendees create their own agenda. Attendees leave and join at their leisure.

As part of a regional JISC-funded initiative, we will build web-based tools to provide a regional web presence which will enable advertising of postgraduate development opportunities accross the northeast region, a means for researchers to electronically book onto activities at other institutions and to provide a means to electronically pass attendence records, etc. back to a participant's home institution.
