Abstract

This document is primarily aimed at ECIT academics and the senior engineering and commercial team staff who will deliver collaborative projects. However, the document may also be useful to academics from other faculties in setting the scene for how collaborative projects will be initiated and executed in ECIT. It provides an analysis of the present-day research funding landscape and explains the motivations for change towards challenge driven research and innovation programmes. It attempts to identify the attributes and behaviours necessary for ECIT to be successful in this environment. Specifically, it addresses inter/multi-disciplinary research within the Institute and frames the major themes for collaborative engagement between ECIT and QUB faculties. The document was produced in broad consultation with academic groups across QUB. Governance issues around interdisciplinary project selection and execution are discussed.
