3. FOREWORD BY THE RESEARCH INSTITUTE DIRECTOR The Social and Policy Research Institute (SPRI) draws together the main researchers in three broad areas in the Faculty of Social Sciences: Public Policy, Social Policy with Social Work; Politics and International Relations; and Education. The SPRI provides an overall structure for these subject areas and seeks to foster and sustain a vigorous research culture. This fi rst annual report provides a summary of some of our key activities in terms of publications and research grants. It also lists the fi rst year, fulltime research students who are being supervised by Institute members. However, we have been proactive in developing a busy research seminar series and an annual SPRI lecture. We have also hosted Fulbright and other Visiting Scholars during the year. Full details of our activities in these areas can be found on the SPRI web site (www.socsci.ulster.ac.uk/spri/). The criteria established for membership and transitional membership of the SPRI can also be found on the web site as can news on developments and forthcoming events. While the research environment is inevitably dominated by the particularities of the forthcoming UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008) the creation of the SPRI provides an opportunity to aim for the highest possible quality of research – however measured in the future – which engages with both the key academic debates in the disciplines and subjects represented in the Institute but also the interests and needs of the community in which the University of Ulster is located.
