Seminar 1 Why Research? Professor Sara Owen 28th January 2015

Venue MB3203

Part of the University of Lincoln’s ambition is for all academic staff to be research active, meeting a minimum standard for research. The University expects that by the end of 2016 at least 60% of academic staff will be recognised as having a research profile of at least 2.5*, moving to more than 75% by 2021. The task is how to encourage this. This seminar will provide an overview of the main reasons behind these goals, what the University has put in place in order to achieve them.
