Networks
Research Networks are flexible groupings of academic staff who are interested in, excited by or wish to explore the development of a research topic which crosses the natural boundaries of existing Research Centres.
Network activities may be locally, nationally or internationally-based and include reading groups, seminar series, generating research proposals and publications.
