The UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) outcomes, announced today, show that 75% of the research activities of the Informatics Research Institute are at international level, with 25% at the world leading level.
Based on a research measure that takes account of the number of staff submitted, Research Fortnight ranks IRIS activities in the top 2 submissions made to the Library and Information Management panel.
Over 29 staff were included in the submission compared with 20 in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, showing significant growth in research activity.
This confirms the Informatics Institute as one of the leading multidisciplinary research institutes that brings together expertise in social, technological and computational aspects of information systems.
