The group aims to provide a rigorous and supportive environment in which researchers can both individually and collectively seek external research funding, manage post-REF resources, provide inter-disciplinary doctoral supervision and post-graduate study. The objectives are to encourage and support post-doctoral research; to originate scholarly publications , to secure research funding to organise scholarly symposia and seminars; to contribute to international research networks and events; to develop applied research as appropriate; to support and mentor new researchers; to support equality of opportunity for all researchers; to ensure appropriate research ethics; and to share work in progress and facilitate inter- and trans-disciplinary dialogue on the themes identified above.
