The Faculty of Business
looks back on an innovative and successful year of research events in 2012/13
across its research centres as part of our research centres’ seminar series and
book launches. We were proud to host speakers from such universities as Bristol,
Cardiff and Glamorgan as well as speakers from practice organisations. Each event was well attended by colleagues
here at Plymouth from a range of disciplines, as well as by local media and
colleagues from other academic institutions such as the University of Exeter.
We have developed and updated Faculty research web presence, as well as
expanding our use of new social media, linked to the above events. These
projects have been driven by the REF 2014 Environment criteria. Such is the
success of this work to date that members of the Faculty were invited to a
conference at Plymouth University to present our model of research web
presence. We are also the first Faculty in the University to have its own
dedicated Twitterfeed to profile the research and impact activities of its
staff and has already amassed over 100 followers, with other areas of the
University already looking to echo elements of this good practice, such as the
Conversations on Research book launch series, towards the next REF in 2020.
