University of Sunderland

In the latter part of 2009 the five North East Universities (Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside) agreed to develop and deliver a short `introduction to research administration; for administrators from those Universities. The programme was somewhat inspired by the National ARMA 2 Introduction to Research Administration programme and a similar programme that Newcastle had previously held.

The programme started with a one day Introduction to Research Administration [Intro] (Feb 5th 2010) and was followed up with 3 half day events: Introduction to Research Governance and Ethics [Ethics] (Mar 25th 2010); The Research Excellence Framework [REF] (Apr 20th 2010) and Postgraduate Research Students [PGRs] (May 19th 2010).
