Report of the Principal.

The Principal introduced the Research and Knowledge Exchange Committee’s annual report for 2012/13. The Research & Knowledge Exchange Committee advises the Teaching & Learning Board on the role of research & knowledge exchange in the School’s Strategic Plan and also on policy and its implementation. It advises the Teaching & Learning Board on the development of the School’s research programmes and monitors the admissions and progress of research students. It commissions funds and evaluates research activity in the School and oversees the preparation of research bids to external bodies.

Governors commented that this was an impressive piece of work and thanked officers for the work being undertaken.
