3. Research and giving back About

Aims

1. Digital management of research activity
2. Data compliance and security
3. Improved web presence to expand the reach of our research
4. Data returns integrated with normal business

Plans

To do this we will:

• Develop rounded management of Research, Impact, Knowledge Exchange, Outreach and Partnership, Prizes, Awards, Grants, Fellowships and Funding Opportunity, and all other metrics – including expertise for business and other use – through the acquisition of integrated computer software.
• Ensure we have in-person and online provision in all areas of training and event organising (training for PhDs, staff, supervisors, etc., and in our contribution to wider intellectual life, through online seminars, conferences, and always with blended approaches to these things) to ensure volume, quality and accessibility.
• Ensure we have appropriate policies and provision of training in data compliance (storage, retrieval and destruction of data from partners); achievement of qualification to participate in data-sharing and access with leading authorities, for example ONS; measurement and maintenance of good data handling practices.
• Maintain a portal of our research activities to ensure we capture all of our outputs to maximise exposure
• Stay ahead on the requirements to make all of our REFsubmittable research outputs open access and thus compliant with the requirements of publicly-funded activities.
• Utilise our web presence to bring together the London Met Lab, clinics, research centres, and all Knowledge Exchange and Research activity to provide a better picture of our work.
• Integrate the Clinics with academic research, student and graduate opportunities to participate in Knowledge Exchange, and to unite these strands with REF impact activities.
