Enabling Research

Priti Meredith

Priti has been the driving force in establishing the Research Centre Manager Network. This University wide Network (formed in 2022) consists of colleagues who support the development and operation of the University's Research Centres to ensure they share common problems, learn from each other and advocate for the Centres. The Network is making a tangible difference to the University's research community, facilitating the advancement of their activity, and making their important work more prominent.
