About and key staff in the Research Office
Working in close partnership with the College’s Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer, Professor Jo Parish, and colleagues across the College and University, in particular in the newly formed Research Strategy and Support Division, the Research Office is responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of strategic and operational support for research across the College.
Comprising a number of key teams and support staff, the Office is responsible for the effective research administration of systems, process implementation and improvement across the College, maintaining consistency and sharing of best practice, integrative working with and across other operational areas, and identification and delivery of required business efficiencies.
