Enhancing Inclusion: Evaluating, Co-Creating, and Implementing Effective Practices to Address Barriers for LGBTQ+ Researchers in STEM and Energy: Fasoli, Fabio (Principal Investigator) Reggiani, Marco (Co-investigator); This project is focused on enhancing LGBTQ+ inclusion within STEM and energy research. Using a range of methodologies and a comprehensive approach, the project aims to identify, evaluate, and improve strategies adopted by UK Higher Education institutions to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion for LGBTQ+ researchers in STEM and energy. The project has three main objectives. First, it seeks to map and review existing diversity and inclusion practices (type, content, frequency) and the processes that led to their implementation through interviews with EDI experts/practitioners. Second, it aims to examine LGBTQ+ individuals' perceptions of different practices and why they consider some more effective than others. Third, the project aims to co-create solutions and enhance capacity for change and innovation by working together with LGBTQ+ researchers and EDI practitioners. The project's findings and recommendations will generate valuable insights and resources to advance LGBTQ+ inclusion across STEM and energy research.

Revitalizing Shrinking Cities in Japan: A Study on the Socio-Spatial Impact of the Shinkansen in Aomori Prefecture: Reggiani, Marco (Principal Investigator); The recent extension of the Shinkansen network towards Japanese peripheral regions highlights critical issues in Japan’s approach toward regional revitalisation—particularly in the context of severe depopulation. While the Tokaido Line shows some positive impacts, it remains unclear whether high-speed rail can help close regional gaps as shrinkage continues. Moreover, there is little recent empirical research on the Shinkansen’s impact on the built environment, communities, and cultural geographies in shrinking cities. This project addresses that gap by examining the socio-spatial effects of the Shinkansen in four shrinking cities and towns in Aomori Prefecture—Hachinohe, Shichinohe, Aomori, and Imabetsu. Drawing on new empirical data, it explores how urban landscapes and place identities are changing, how high-speed rail features in local strategies to address shrinkage, and how connected cities are deterritorialised and reterritorialised by this infrastructure. The project offers new insights into the socio-spatial impacts of HSR-led revitalisation and the evolving relationship between transport infrastructure, cities, and communities.

See Yourself in STEM: Quigley, Claire (Project Lead) Lebeter, Ian (Project Lead) Reggiani, Marco (Co-investigator) Gagnon, Jessica (Co-investigator) Lunn, Rebecca (Co-investigator) Paterson, Myra (Co-investigator); The See Yourself in STEM project aims to enable students, particularly those from groups underrepresented in STEM, to engage with science and technology as citizen scientists around the challenges of climate change. In collaboration with local STEM researchers from across Glasgow, the students will participate in hands-on STEM activities and learn how to demonstrate science research in order to inspire them to consider a STEM career path. Funded by the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLiC) under the Scottish Government School Library Improvement Fund (SLiF), led by Glasgow Life in partnership with the STEM Equals programme, See Yourself in STEM is focused on inspiring the next generation of researchers in STEM. Six groups of pupils from three schools, Smithycroft, All Saints, and Shawlands, will participate in the project.
