Joint monitoring. 7.1 Both parties agree to actively monitor the implementation of this agreement in Schools. Signed for the University of Reading Dated Signed for the University and College Union Dated 1 Terminology 1.1 Sessional Teaching Staff: a) Staff that are employed on a fixed-term contract to cover teaching needs arising within one academic session. Such appointments should be made for emergency cover when a regular member of staff is not available due to, for example, sick leave, compassionate leave or research leave. It is expected that staffing levels within Schools will be sufficient so as to cope with fluctuations in student recruitment. It should not be regular practice to cope with fluctuations in demand by appointing sessional staff. b) Sessional teaching staff may be employed full-time or part time (fractional contract), or on an hourly-paid basis, in accordance with section 2.11 of the Collective Agreement between the University and Reading UCU, dated 18 December 2020. c) Sessional teaching staff can be employed at Grade 6, if their duties are limited according to Appendix 3 of the agreement, or at a higher grade if their duties exceed those described in Appendix 3 and Section 2 below. d) If sessional teaching staff are employed at Grade 6, they should not be employed for longer than 12 months and/or successive academic sessions. e) Exceptional circumstances might justify the prolonged use of Grade 6 in some areas for specified activities, or a short extension beyond 12 months for individual contracts. The Joint Panel (see 2.3 and 2.4 in the Collective Agreement as well as Appendix 1) will monitor, consider and agree justifiable exceptional circumstances. f) The expectation would be that where cover is needed for teaching normally undertaken by permanent staff for a period of more than 12 months, a fixed-term, and potentially fractional, post above Grade 6 is created.

Most important updates regarding Viable Cities 7.4. Most important updates regarding government agencies‌ During 2022, the government agencies in the Climate City Contract have continued to develop work in their interagency innovation team. For instance, the team has compiled a summary of the government agencies’ various forms of funding and financing instruments, and helped in ensuring that calls related to climate transition and sustainable cities are continually published on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇ website. The innovation team has participated in Viable Cities Transition Labs, as well as work- shops and meetings, in order to learn more about cities’ climate investment plans and the agencies’ role in the process. Alongside some of the cities, the innovation team has tested developing support and forms for analysing the government agen- cies’ joint funding (including various research and innovation (R&I) programmes, city environment contracts) over the past five years. The aim in the longer term is that this work should contribute to commitments regarding coordinated funding and the cities’ work on planning climate investments. The government agencies’ ongoing work includes many measures and initiatives that are of significance to the cities’ work on climate transition. Compiling and providing information about these are important tasks for the government agencies. Below is a selection that relate to the cities in some way. During the year, the government agencies have announced several calls aiming to facilitate the transition in cities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has worked with Viable Cities to publish a call for a design phase for urban system demonstrators, for instance. A follow-up call will be published in spring 2023. Other examples from Vinnova include Sustainable accessibility across Sweden, on mobility in sparsely populated areas, in association with Drive Sweden and Viable Cities, Civil society’s solutions for climate transition, and Innovations to reduce electricity consumption in cooperation with the Swedish Energy Agency. The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth has had calls from the European Regional Development Fund: Produce a local strategy for sustainable urban development and Drive a platform for collaboration and experience exchange. The city as a hub for green and digital transition is an initiative within The G...
