The Research Forum aims to encourage and support the development of research active staff and to strengthen the research culture in the University. The Forum will host a series of research talks and presentations for staff in the subject areas of Health, Social Care, Sport and Exercise Sciences.

The purpose of the Research Forum is to provide a regular and accessible arena for staff to:

• engage in discussions about research;
• present existing and emerging research ideas;
• identify opportunities for collaboration and support;
• share experiences and valuable lessons on ‘doing research’ (writing papers, proposals, attending conferences etc).

When

The forum meets monthly, on the first Wednesday of each month, between 12.30 and 1.30pm. Tea and coffee are provided; feel free to bring your lunch.

Format

An informal round table discussion is encouraged, and sessions will be chaired by two chairs: Lynne Kennedy and Emily Warren. Presenters will be able to choose whatever format they feel most comfortable with.

Who

All staff and students are welcome to attend. Speakers will include:

• Staff members who have received developmental funding from SRC will be contacted and invited to participate in one of the monthly sessions as a condition of their SRC funding.
• Any School staff member or research student who wants to present research findings (whether preliminary or published) or propose a research idea.

Any member of staff who wishes to present or address the forum on any relevant research matter can contact the Chairs.
