The EHS Research Committee provides an opportunity for EHS colleagues to support the work of all EHS faculty, researchers and postgraduate candidates as informed by relevant UL and EHS Faculty strategies. Research-related initiatives that the Committee have played an active role in over the most recent years includes the launch of the inaugural EHS 2020/21 Research Contribution Awards, establishing the terms of reference for the EHS Seed Funding Call 2021, overseeing the EHS Research Strategy discussion webinars, processing the EHS Seed funding calls, updating the Committee Terms of Reference, considering and supporting EHS-led Research Centre applications. The Terms of Reference for the EHS Research Committee allow sufficient flexibility for the Committee, in partnership with EHS colleagues, to respond to, and advocate for, how best to support the research-related activities of EHS colleagues.
