This Research and Impact Away day aims at shaping our departmental strategy in research and impact for the future also in view of REF2028. It is conceived to have plenty of time for discussion, share views, evaluate priorities and vision, and our fit into the development of our new institutional strategy (Strategy2031) for which consultations are on-going now.
We hope that many of you, inclusive of all Academics, research-only staff, ECRs, can come and contribute in this important occasion!
