  8. Anticipated Outputs and Outcomes

  9. Why are we doing this? Strategic Goals

  10. Glasgow 2020: A Global Vision ‘We’ll streamline our systems and processes to make the most of our resources, and minimise bureaucracy’ Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice-Chancellor

  12. Glasgow 2020: A Global Vision ‘…encourage Research Networks that bring together researchers….from more than one College….networks enable…the establishment of an internal and external presence, and the coordination of bids for research funding’

  13. Why are we doing this? • Unexposed collaboration opportunities • Open Access • Impact
