Chair: Dr Frank McMahon
Building on the findings from our recent Research Support Survey, we invite all staff to attend a seminar to explore some new initiatives for supporting researchers throughout the Institute.
One of these initiatives will:
1. Raise the profile of individual researchers
2. Showcase the Institute's academic research output
3. Disseminate research findings to a greater audience
4. Connect those with similar research interests
5. Facilitate further networking and collaborative opportunities
Question: How?
Answer: An institutional research repository
This seminar will provide an opportunity to learn more, see a repository in action and explore the possibilities for DIT.
