John Rogers, Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer, University of Stirling

Sean Fielding, Director of Research and Enterprise Funding, University of Exeter

There are major changes afoot within the research environment. Proposals for the Research Excellence Framework are rapidly firming up; priorities for funding are being hotly debated; the economic, social and cultural benefits of public investment in research are being questioned; and, of course, assessing such potential and actual benefits is proving a major challenge. And all of this against a backdrop of substantial pressure on public funds. This seminar will consider the implications of these, and other factors, for the ongoing development and implementation of research strategies for higher education institutions.

Participants are invited to share topics and problems of interest to their institution.
