Informatics Research Institute (IRIS) March 2009 newsletter

Vadera, S

Abstract

This is the first newsletter following the outcome of the
Research Assessment Exercise which confirmed IRIS as
one of the leading multidisciplinary research institutes
that brings together expertise in social, technological and
computational aspects of information systems.
Research Fortnight ranked IRIS activities in the top two
submissions in the country, with 75% of activities at
international level and 25% at world leading level. The
reviewers were particularly impressed with the Research
Environment, which was highlighted as having 50% of
activities at world leading level. I’d like to thank all
members of IRIS whose commitment to pursuing high
quality research has contributed to this success.
This newsletter highlights some activities immediately
following the RAE, showing that we are not content with
the excellent RAE results but building further on our
successful research. It includes examples of important
research events that we are organising, publications in
major outlets, funded projects and students who have
successfully completed their PhDs.
