Our Annual Research Conference 2015 was held Tuesday 16 June. It focused on the twin themes of transformation and impact.
Transformational research involves pioneering theoretical and / or methodological innovation that has the potential to change our understanding of scientific and social concepts, practice or paradigms.
Research impact is the demonstrable contribution that excellent research makes to society and the economy.
The conference showcased some of the latest research being undertaken by staff and students from across the University. It featured five parallel sessions of presentations led by ERAS Fellows (Early Researchers Award Scheme) and research students, as well as senior researchers, within the themes of the conference:
- Group A – Learning, Literature & Criminal Lives
- Group B – Business Climate
- Group C – Tools for Life
- Group D – Health Sciences
- Group E – Physical Activity and Sport
