| Description | NGTS Consortium |
| Organisation | Next-Generation Transit Survey |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | Access to NGTS data and resources regarding data access and quality issues. Contribution towards planet discovery papers as listed in "Publications". |
| Collaborator Contribution | Access to the NGTS data has allowed me to conduct an extremely large scale study on stellar rotations, something which would not be possible from outside the consortium as not all data is publicly accessible. |
| Impact | Any and all publications in the "Publications" section will be as a part of the NGTS consortium. |

| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | The Cool Stars 20.5 virtual conference was held W/C 01 March 2021. I submitted a poster + 1 minute research "Haiku" to the event (https://zenodo.org/record/4564132#.YEXwzWSeT0o). The event was virtually attended by over 1,000 stellar physicists, students and members of the general public and media. |
