Research Co-ordinators Network
The Research Co-ordinators Network comprises nominated research co-ordinators from each Department across all three Faculties. The aim of the group is to discuss any current or future initiatives such as RDAP and the REF (Research Excellence Framework) as well as to encourage more collaborative inter-disciplinary research projects.
It also provides the opportunity for increasing the awareness of and stimulating debate around both departmental and institutional research issues, with the goal of achieving a more cohesive institutional approach to research in terms of support, policy and practice. Any areas or issues that colleagues would like to be discussed at the network meetings should speak to their Research Co-ordinator.
