The 2010 AUEE Annual Conference, at Cranfield University
Universities and higher education face great change over the next few years: changing models of study and research, students as paying customers, and new approaches to funding and governance. The conference heard from national and international experts discussing the concept of what a university is in the 21st century, how should universities be funded, as well as a challenging debate on “Universities: intellectual power houses, or training schools for higher skills for our economy”. Also examined was the impact of higher education institutions in their regional economies. Guest speakers included Sir Alan Langlands, Mike Boxall, and Professor Brigid Heywood.

UEA Qualitative Research Methods Forum on the Norwich Research Park 9th December 2009
HOW CAN SCIENTISTS WORK WITH QUALITATIVE SOCIAL RESEARCHERS?
Seminar for UEA and Norwich Research Park staff and postgraduate researchers
Room 1.08, Thomas Paine Suite, Academic Building East, Chancellor’s Drive, University of East Anglia
Qualitative research offers ways to understand what is relevant to people and groups including researchers and the general public.  Qualitative research can help collaboration between natural, human and social sciences and can enrich natural scientific research itself.  For instance, in linking scientific modelling with lived experiences.  This seminar will showcase examples of research collaborations between qualitative researchers, natural and other scientists and then go on to explore ways in which participants can build on such collaborations to extend the scope and engagement of their research. We will highlight aspects of qualitative research which can be used to enable working conversations between researchers from a wide range of disciplines.
