An overly sedentary lifetsyle has become so common that the scientific community has coined a name for it: sitting disease. Sedentary people are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes, cardiovascular problems and even colon cancer.

The Employee Assistance Programme can help you find ways to add more activity to your daily routine and reduce sedentary behaviour.

The Information Security Group (ISG) at Royal Holloway opens its doors for the group's second ISG Open Day, designed for anyone with an interest in cyber security to come along and learn more about the ISG and what we do.

Join us on Tuesday 26 June, 9am to 5pm, as we showcase many different aspects of information security, the achievements and widely recognised contributions of the ISG, as well as current opportunities for cyber security training and research. 

The field of Information Security has grown up very rapidly in recent years, and how we handle electronic information is one of the big technological questions of our age. We will explore key issues, from security management and contactless transactions, to cyber crime and detecting ransomware.

We have a packed programme of talks and presentations, together with opportunities to network and engage in discussions with our experts based here at Royal Holloway.

• Two guest speakers: Professor Steve Babbage, Vodafone & Honorary Professor, ISG, ‘The road to 5G Security.’ and Professor Colin Williams, Editor "CyberTalk" & Honorary Fellow, Warwick: ‘A Tale of Beer, Chile, Sheffield .... and Syn!’

• Thematic rooms with talks, demos and activities, including cryptography, smart cards, systems security, people and security.

• an exhibit of one of the famous Enigma Machines from Bletchley Park, used during World War Two.

• Sound bite talks from current students.

• Display of PhD posters.

• Panel discussion

We are very grateful to our sponsors - Thales, GSK, Skybox Security and Royal Holloway ACE-CSR.

Are you interested in religious education in schools? Moral prejudice against atheists? Violence against clergy? The effect of administration on clergy's ability to attend to their calling? Changing notions of what counts as 'sacred'? Other societal issues of relevance to the Church?

Join us for a discussion - Chaired by priest, journalist and broadcaster Giles Fraser - of the sacred and the secular within the urban and suburban spaces of contemporary, multicultural Britain, as well as some of the challenges facing Anglican clergy working within it. The event offers an opportunity for dialogue around issues in which Royal Holloway has research expertise, such as:

• Violence: issues around violence against clergy and churches.

• How does whether we identify as believing in God affect the extent to which people trust us? What are the societal ramifications of this?

• How do shifting representations of the sacred shape understandings of what is sacred, what isn’t - and with what implications?

• Religious education in schools – how can Local Authorities help provide innovative delivery, such as Ealing’s use of architectural practice in West London.

• Bureaucracy and faith: how administrative burden on clergy affects their ability to attend to their calling and its implications for parishioners.

Royal Holloway researchers will share findings on these topics and take questions from the floor. Participants are warmly encouraged to share their own experience and knowledge of these topics and other societal challenges relating to the Church. What's the role of the Church in public mental health, for example? What innovative models are there for the sustainability of religious buildings? There will be time for discussion of any such topics in addition to those above.

All are welcome although booking is necessary since spaces are limited - we anticipate this being a relatively intimate event of up to 20-30 participants in order to facilitate collective conversation. Refreshments will be provided. 

Proceedings will be recorded and photographed for an event report. The discussion will be anonymised so that contributions won't be attributed to specific individuals, although a list of attendees will be included in the report. If you'd prefer not to feature in report photos or if you'd like to be left off the list of attendees, please let Olivia Swift know.
