Staff Development

Releasing Research - Enterprise Potential

Bournemouth University (BU) has embarked on a radical programme of investment and change to achieve the research aspirations set out in the new Corporate Plan. At its heart this involves a transition from a teaching dominated environment to a more balanced one in which research, enterprise and education are equal partners. The transition is challenging and requires investment in Bournemouth's key assets - the staff whose collective intellectual output defines the University's research and educational status.

RREP Programme: 2007-2008

This programme is aimed at staff who have the potential
to develop their research-enterprise capability. This group of staff need additional institutional support to enthuse them and to develop confidence in their research-enterprise capacity. This programme is about facilitating confidence in individuals to undertake research and to encourage them engage through publication and grant/contract bidding with external bodies. The programme has two main targets: (1) new staff members who have just embarked on a research career and (2) those in mid-career who wish to become research active.
