1. Foreword by the Pro Vice Chancellor(Research and Innovation)It is the responsibility of any institution whichconducts academic research to do so in a way thatmakes a significant contribution both to the social,political and cultural fabric of the community which itserves in particular and to society and the economy ingeneral. In reading the annual reports from Universityof Ulster Research Institutes I am confident that youwill find the research undertaken at Ulster to havemore than fulfilled expectations over the past year.The University’s growing reputation for high qualityresearch has enabled us to continue to attractadditional high-calibre research staff who have assisted colleagues in attractingexternal research and other income and in completing work that has led to highlyprestigious papers, books and other key performance outputs.In particular, the University has had a successful year in terms of research grantincome with £11.5M of externally funded grants. The number of major externalawards, the value of which exceeds £200k, rose to eight with income totalling£3M attracted from prestigious Research Councils.In addition to the annual allocation of DEL postgraduate of £3.38M, this year,the University received just over £300k in support of 34 new DEL funded PhDstudentships to be held in research areas that have specific relevance to theNorthern Ireland economy; thus allowing further development of R&D talentessential for innovation in business and the public sector. This funding enablesUlster to support 244 full-time research students with a further 161 supportedfrom a range of other sources of funding.Research staff have made a significant contribution to Northern Ireland’s largestevery strategic review under the MATRIX programme. A number of colleaguescontributed significantly as members on the main panel with many other colleagueson Horizon panels across all five sectors, ie: Advanced Engineering (Transport),Advanced Materials, Agrifood, ICT and Life & Health Sciences. The MATRIXrecommendations are implemented under the leadership of DETI and MinisterArlene Foster and the University will play a significant role in implementing itsrecommendations and model.In November 2007 Ulster made its largest submission to the national ResearchAssessment Exercise (RAE2008). Almost 500 staff in 25 Units of ResearchAssessment participated in the exercise and a number of Ulster staff participatedin RAE Sub-Panels with two members of staff being asked to act as Chair (ProfessorHugh McKenna – Nursing and Midwifery and Professor Seamus MacMathuna –Celtic Studies).The RAE2008 outcomes will inform the future research strategy of the Universityand the University’s research strategy document (SUPPORTIVe: Strategy andAction Plan for Research, Research Training and Innovation 2006-2009) is to berevised during 2008/09.There continues to be a very strong flow of research findings coming out of ourresearch activities this year, many as new disclosures, adding to our intellectual3

property portfolio. We continue to exploit this asset through knowledge andtechnology transfer activities managed through our Office of Innovation.I trust that you will enjoy reading the Report and commend it to you as evidencethat University of Ulster research ranks highly amongst UK institutions.Professor ND BlackPro Vice Chancellor (Research & Innovation)4

2. Foreword by theResearch Institute DirectorThe result of the Research Assessment Exercise 2008for Art and Design research at the University of Ulsterhas confirmed its international excellence and regionalleadership within a field of growing competition. Intotal, 75 per cent of its research was consideredto be of international significance and an abovesectoral average was identified as world-leading. Thisachievement marks the creative confidence, capacityand capability across the breadth of the Art andDesign discipline area represented at the Universityof Ulster. It also manifests a strategic engagement withexternal users of research. The recognised strengthsin Art and Design research has continued to attract internationally leading andinfluential professionals to the University of Ulster, who shape the contemporarydebates about the role of art and design in civil society, as a constituent part ofthe ecologies of regeneration and at the heart of the creative industries. Theseestablished staff play an important role in mentoring the next generation ofresearchers in a period of restructuring and renewal.In August 2007 the School of Art and Design moved into a Faculty together withthe School of Built Environment and an emergent School of Architecture andDesign in response to the drivers of change in the region and beyond an in orderto fully capitalise on existing synergies. The new disciplinary formation enablesan innovative convergence of hardware and software issues in the context ofregeneration and along the lines of engaged creativity in and for civil society,sustainability and resilience, and the commitment to make productive social andcultural differences.The success in the RAE2008 has been achieved with the support of a majorinvestment into the research infrastructure for Art and Design by the University ofUlster and through SPUR funding over the past years, which is coming to fruition.Research facilities have been significantly enhanced with the refurbishment ofBelfast campus, which is the home for Art and Design, and the extension to theFoyle Arts Centre where the School of the Creative Arts is situated. Interface,the interdisciplinary Centre for Research in Art, Technologies and Design hascontinued to develop a strategic research focus and infrastructure for the subjectarea that builds on existing strengths in performance and lens-based practice,on critical, theoretical and historical inquiries and curatorial interventions thatexplore conflict transformation and citizenship, and on advanced research inFabric Forward. It plays a major part in bringing together traditional art and craftskills with advanced technologies to engender and foster creativity that leads toinnovative and sustainable solutions. Prime examples for innovation through Artand Design at the University of Ulster can be found in emergent interdisciplinaryareas including concrete and textiles, biomedical applications, weave and designsolutions for a range of products including building components, specialistfurniture and consumer products. Major research grants in the area of fabricconstruction and textile applications evidences that. The work of our researchershas been presented at major international exhibitions and conferences. Theyinform debates on quality and performance benchmarks in Art and Design aspeer reviewers for the AHRC and other Research Councils and Foundations oras members of regional and international selection panels and juries, as membersof the Board of the Arts Council Northern Ireland and in other key advisorypositions.5

Art and Design research also pushes the boundaries in the development of digitalhuman interfaces and mobile phone enabled cameras and makes a substantialcontribution to the development of the creative industries in Northern Ireland, tothe wellbeing of its people and to wealth creation. Excellence in the research anddevelopment of digital content and applications will be showcased internationallywhen the University of Ulster hosts Imagine Create on the University’s Mageecampus in Spring 2009, and ISEA2009, the 15 th International Symposium onElectronic Art across the region in August 2009.Building sustainable partnerships with communities, businesses, industriesand public bodies through consultancies and knowledge transfer projects hasunderpinned the significant success of Art and Design research at the Universityof Ulster.Professor Kerstin MeyDirector Research Institute Art and Design6
