1. Foreword by the Pro Vice Chancellor<br />
(<strong>Research</strong> and Innovation)<br />
I am particularly delighted to provide the Foreword to<br />
this year’s <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>s. <strong>Research</strong> and Innovation<br />
at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ulster</strong> continues to grow and to<br />
make major contributions to the economic and social<br />
wellbeing <strong>of</strong> Northern Ireland and beyond. This past<br />
year has seen us climb to a position where we are in<br />
the top third <strong>of</strong> research institutions in the country<br />
and are, again, amongst the top per<strong>for</strong>mers in the UK<br />
in translating our research and research expertise<br />
into significant economic benefit. In reading the<br />
annual reports from <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ulster</strong> <strong>Research</strong><br />
Institutes I am confident that you will find the research<br />
undertaken at <strong>Ulster</strong> to have more than fulfilled expectations over the past year.<br />
The <strong>University</strong>’s reputation <strong>for</strong> high quality research was independently confirmed<br />
through the results <strong>of</strong> the most recent <strong>Research</strong> Assessment Exercise. The overall<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance puts <strong>Ulster</strong> in the top third <strong>of</strong> the UK institutions with three Units<br />
in the top three and eleven in the top twenty as measured against peers. This is<br />
our best ever per<strong>for</strong>mance and confirms our strategy on quality, selectivity and<br />
supporting environment. Our exceptional per<strong>for</strong>mance in the RAE has boosted<br />
our ef<strong>for</strong>ts to attract high-calibre research staff to work alongside our existing<br />
internationally strong teams, in attracting external research and other income<br />
and in completing work that has led to highly prestigious papers, books and other<br />
key per<strong>for</strong>mance outputs.<br />
We are now in a very strong and confident position as we prepare <strong>for</strong> the next<br />
national assessment due in 2013. This year we produced a new <strong>Research</strong> Strategy<br />
to provide us with an appropriate quality framework that will support our future<br />
submission to the newly designed <strong>Research</strong> Excellence Framework (REF). The<br />
new approach to assessment through the REF will present many challenges,<br />
particularly in relation to the new Impact category and in the administrative<br />
structures. We embark upon this process with great confidence and expectation<br />
having evidenced another very strong per<strong>for</strong>mance in the translation <strong>of</strong> our<br />
research expertise into economic and social benefits. There continues to be<br />
a very strong flow <strong>of</strong> research findings coming out <strong>of</strong> our research activities<br />
this year, many as new disclosures, adding to our intellectual property portfolio.<br />
We continue to exploit this asset through knowledge and technology transfer<br />
activities managed through our Office <strong>of</strong> Innovation.<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ulster</strong> research teams were awarded grants totalling over £29M<br />
<strong>for</strong> the academic year 2008/9, up almost £18M on the previous year. During the<br />
same period <strong>Research</strong> Capital funding totalled £8M and the <strong>University</strong>’s <strong>Research</strong><br />
Council income was approximately £3M. A particularly pleasing aspect <strong>of</strong> our<br />
grant income pr<strong>of</strong>ile shows that grants were awarded to each <strong>of</strong> our six faculties<br />
and across all four campuses, highlighting research excellence throughout the<br />
<strong>University</strong>.<br />
Cross border research projects funded by the Department <strong>for</strong> Employment and<br />
Learning (DEL) under its Cross Border R&D Funding Programme accounted <strong>for</strong><br />
the substantial increase in research funding from previous years with five <strong>Ulster</strong><br />
research teams awarded grants totalling £7.7M to conduct collaborative research<br />
projects with sister universities in the Republic <strong>of</strong> Ireland.<br />
3
I am, <strong>of</strong> course, delighted but not surprised at this superb per<strong>for</strong>mance since<br />
external funders <strong>of</strong> research only allocate funding where they are confident that<br />
quality exists and <strong>Ulster</strong>’s recent research activity is evidence <strong>of</strong> that quality. It is,<br />
however, particularly pleasing to record such a level <strong>of</strong> funding during a period<br />
when there has been significant pressure on the economy in general and finance<br />
in particular. It is gratifying that that funders have confidence in the quality <strong>of</strong> our<br />
work and are assured that it will reap benefits in the future.<br />
In addition to the annual allocation <strong>of</strong> DEL postgraduate studentships <strong>of</strong> £4.91M,<br />
this year, the <strong>University</strong> received just over £1.41M in support <strong>of</strong> 78 new and<br />
continuing DEL funded PhD studentships to be held in research areas that<br />
have specific relevance to the Northern Ireland economy; thus allowing further<br />
development <strong>of</strong> R&D talent essential <strong>for</strong> innovation in business and the public<br />
sector. This funding enables <strong>Ulster</strong> to support 272 full-time research students<br />
with a further 123 full-time awards supported from a range <strong>of</strong> other sources <strong>of</strong><br />
funding.<br />
The <strong>University</strong>, through its research and outreach activity, makes a significant<br />
contribution on the local and world stages. Our staff in<strong>for</strong>m both policy<br />
development at regional and national level and are leaders in gaining understanding<br />
<strong>of</strong> the many <strong>of</strong> the global challenges facing us in today’s world.<br />
I trust that you will enjoy reading the <strong>Report</strong> and I commend it to you as evidence<br />
that research at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ulster</strong> ranks highly amongst UK institutions.<br />

2. Foreword by the<br />
<strong>Research</strong> Institute Director<br />
During the first half <strong>of</strong> the year under review, Pr<strong>of</strong>.<br />
Máire Messenger-Davies was on research leave, and<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Martin McLoone was Acting Director <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Media</strong> Studies <strong>Research</strong> Institute, now <strong>of</strong>ficially titled<br />
the <strong>Centre</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Media</strong> <strong>Research</strong>. Pr<strong>of</strong> Davies was also a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> the RAE sub-panel 66 during this time. This<br />
report is jointly produced by Pr<strong>of</strong>s. Messenger Davies<br />
and McLoone. For the 2008 RAE, <strong>Media</strong> Studies staff<br />
produced over 230 eligible outputs - books, articles,<br />
chapters, films and digital installations. The results <strong>of</strong><br />
the RAE were announced at the end <strong>of</strong> 2008. Our<br />
<strong>Media</strong> Studies submission achieved an excellent result.<br />

Staff<br />
<strong>Ulster</strong><br />
COM., Cult.&<br />
Med. Studies 17 10% 65% 20% 5% 0%<br />
This means that 75% <strong>of</strong> all research in <strong>Media</strong> Studies was judged ‘internationally<br />
excellent’ - the equivalent <strong>of</strong> a 5* rating in the 2001 RAE. Our grade point average<br />
was 2.8 making us joint 10 th in the UK out <strong>of</strong> 47 submissions. In its summary<br />
judgment, the RAE panel assessment was that:<br />
A significant proportion <strong>of</strong> the work submitted was <strong>of</strong> international<br />
excellence and this included the media practice outputs and also the<br />
historical studies. Within this proportion, work <strong>of</strong> world-class quality<br />
was noted. Across the whole submission, work displaying international<br />
recognition or excellence was predominant. The commitment to work<br />
which variously explored the history, media pr<strong>of</strong>ile and cultural identity<br />
<strong>of</strong> Northern Ireland came out strongly as one <strong>of</strong> the primary points <strong>of</strong><br />
research focus.<br />
The RAE result and the panel judgment are very gratifying and are testament to<br />
the quality <strong>of</strong> the research in <strong>Media</strong> Studies. It is hoped that they have provided a<br />
secure foundation <strong>for</strong> the next assessment - the <strong>Research</strong> Excellence Framework,<br />
or REF.<br />
As we pointed out last year, the <strong>Centre</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Media</strong> <strong>Research</strong> is located within<br />
the school <strong>of</strong> <strong>Media</strong>, Film and Journalism - a department where creative and<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional practice in film, video, media arts, photography and journalism are<br />
combined with rigorous intellectual research and teaching in the history, theory,<br />
aesthetics and politics <strong>of</strong> media. We have a diverse group <strong>of</strong> staff whose research<br />
backgrounds and approaches range from journalism studies, through critical<br />
analysis <strong>of</strong> text and image, historical analyses, aspects <strong>of</strong> culture and identity,<br />
audience studies, archive explorations and creative practices. Since last year, we<br />
have said goodbye to Dr, Amy Davis (who joined the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Hull) and we<br />
have welcomed to the full-time academic staff <strong>for</strong>mer student and successful PhD<br />
candidate <strong>of</strong> the School, Dr. Ciara Chambers, a researcher in Film Studies, and<br />
Alan Hook, a digital media and digital arts specialist.<br />

Events<br />
In June, 2009, the RI met together <strong>for</strong> two ‘away days’ <strong>of</strong> dedicated research<br />
planning to devise a research strategy <strong>for</strong> the next five years. The meeting was<br />
very productive and a number <strong>of</strong> new research initiatives and research projects<br />
were identified which the RI began to implement in the following year. It was<br />
decided that, given its national and international recognition, we would retain<br />
the name CMR as a recognised identity <strong>for</strong> the whole research institute and all<br />
researchers would be part <strong>of</strong> the CMR. This means that our journalism strand<br />
and other strands <strong>of</strong> personal research are now fully within the CMR ambit and<br />
research strategy. This vibrancy and diversity <strong>of</strong> research within the RI is reflected<br />
in the range <strong>of</strong> conferences and symposia that RI staff attended throughout the<br />
year and the many research events at which staff gave invited key note papers and<br />
other presentations.<br />
PhD students<br />
The CMR continues to support a lively postgraduate research culture, based<br />
in its own dedicated PhD suite. The year 2008-9 also saw a new group <strong>of</strong> PhD<br />
researchers enter the CMR and details <strong>of</strong> these are listed below. All in all, in what<br />
was inevitably a transition year in the research cycle, this has been a year <strong>of</strong> both<br />
consolidation and renewal. We have an exciting research culture in <strong>Media</strong> Studies<br />
and our thanks <strong>for</strong> this go to the staff and research students whose achievements<br />
are recorded here.<br />
Further in<strong>for</strong>mation on the CMR activities can be seen on the website at the CMR<br />
