1. Foreword by the Pro Vice-Chancellor(Research and Innovation)It is the responsibility of any institution which conductsacademic research to do so in a way that makes a significantcontribution both to the social, political and cultural fabricof the community which it serves in particular and tosociety and the economy in general. In reading the annualreports from University of Ulster Research Institutes I amconfident that you will find the research undertaken atUlster to have more than fulfilled expectations over thepast year.The University’s growing reputation for high quality research has enabled usto continue to attract additional high-calibre research staff who have assistedcolleagues in attracting external research and other income and in completingwork that has led to highly prestigious papers, books and other key performanceoutputs.In particular, the University has had a successful year in terms of research grantincome with £11.5M of externally funded grants. The number of major externalawards, the value of which exceeds £200k, rose to eight with income totalling£3M attracted from prestigious Research Councils.In addition to the annual allocation of DEL postgraduate of £3.38M, this year,the University received just over £300k in support of 34 new DEL funded PhDstudentships to be held in research areas that have specific relevance to theNorthern Ireland economy; thus allowing further development of R&D talentessential for innovation in business and the public sector. This funding enablesUlster to support 244 full-time research students with a further 161 supportedfrom a range of other sources of funding.Research staff have made a significant contribution to Northern Ireland’s largestevery strategic review under the MATRIX programme. A number of colleaguescontributed significantly as members on the main panel with many other colleagueson Horizon panels across all five sectors, ie: Advanced Engineering (Transport),Advanced Materials, Agrifood, ICT and Life & Health Sciences. The MATRIXrecommendations are implemented under the leadership of DETI and MinisterArlene Foster and the University will play a significant role in implementing itsrecommendations and model.In November 2007 Ulster made its largest submission to the national ResearchAssessment Exercise (RAE2008). Almost 500 staff in 25 Units of ResearchAssessment participated in the exercise and a number of Ulster staff participatedin RAE Sub-Panels with two members of staff being asked to act as Chair (ProfessorHugh McKenna – Nursing and Midwifery and Professor Seamus MacMathuna –Celtic Studies).The RAE2008 outcomes will inform the future research strategy of the Universityand the University’s research strategy document (SUPPORTIVe: Strategy andAction Plan for Research, Research Training and Innovation 2006-2009) is to berevised during 2008/09.There continues to be a very strong flow of research findings coming out of ourresearch activities this year, many as new disclosures, adding to our intellectual2

property portfolio. We continue to exploit this asset through knowledge andtechnology transfer activities managed through our Office of Innovation.I trust that you will enjoy reading the Report and commend it to you as evidencethat University of Ulster research ranks highly amongst UK institutions.Professor ND BlackPro Vice Chancellor (Research & Innovation)3

2. Foreword by the Research InstituteDirector 2004-2009Interdisciplinary research is the primary focus of theAcademy for Irish Cultural Heritages (AICH), whichwas established with SPUR funding in December 2000.In setting up the Academy, the University of Ulster wasmaking a key commitment to originality and innovation inscholarship and research in the field of cultural heritages,both Irish and international. But how is interdisciplinaryresearch defined, and why is it so confusing? Manyestablished researchers find it difficult to cope withterms such as ‘inter-’ and ‘multidisciplinarity’, but clearlythey are not the same.A multidisciplinary project draws on several disciplines, but it does not radicallyre-define the theoretical canon of any single discipline. A multidisciplinary researchteam may involve researchers from several different disciplines. However, eachresearcher may continue to operate with rigour within his or her own disciplinaryframework. In such circumstances, it is the combination of single-disciplinaryskills and insights that generates a multidisciplinary outcome, but usually one canrecognize distinctive disciplinary contributions in the end product.In contrast, an interdisciplinary project works across disciplines and breaks downtraditional subject boundaries. An interdisciplinary assignment can, in theory,be completed by a single individual who works across different disciplines andcombines methodologies in a radically new manner. The result, however, may bevery difficult to attribute to any single-disciplinary framework. Interdisciplinaryresearch may eventually generate new fields of research which cannot be easilyclassified within the current disciplinary framework.Generally speaking, clearly defined disciplines have institutional status andprivilege. They are easy for institutions to cope with. Interdisciplinary researchis more difficult to characterize and support institutionally – although ultimatelysuch research may generate entirely new and paradigm-shifting results. The Irishgeographer Anne Buttimer, in her analysis of the life-cycles of various disciplines,once characterized the early stages of an emerging field of research as thePhoenix period ‘when new life emerges from the ashes with prospects for a freshbeginning’. This emancipatory movement can involve a cry for freedom fromoppression or constitute an attempt ‘to soar to new heights of understanding,being and becoming’. It is usually followed by a ‘Faustian’ disciplining of the fieldin the process of gaining legitimacy in academic circles. Energies are directedtowards ‘the building of structures, institutions and legal guarantees for theirautonomous existence and identity.’ (Buttimer 1992: 43)In the current context of research assessment exercises in the UK, it is a verybrave university that maintains a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity. While,in theory, the RAE deems itself to be capable of dealing with interdisciplinaryresearch, the reality is that each individual is assigned in the first instance to asingle panel for assessment, and interdisciplinarity is generally dealt with withina single-subject context – although guidance may be sought from other panels.However, a new approach to assessment of research may well change the singlesubjectcontext and, at this point, it would appear that interdisciplinary researchcould strongly benefit from a revised approach and become far more central tothe system.4

In the case of the University of Ulster, the Academy for Irish Cultural Heritagesprovides the necessary structures for supporting and energizing research ideasand themes in the field of heritage. Some 30 academics/researchers and 50 PhDstudents are located within the Academy, which is based in three campuses of theuniversity – Magee, Coleraine and Jordanstown. The past year has been especiallybusy and in a report such as this, one can only draw attention to selectedhighlights:Cultural Heritage, Cultural Diversity and Human RightsAt the end of November 2007, the Academy hosted a research colloquium onthe theme of ‘Cultural Heritage, Cultural Diversity and Human Rights’. This eventwas organised jointly by the AICH and the Cultural Heritage Centre for Asiaand the Pacific (CHCAP), Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. The aim ofthe workshop was to investigate the problematic linkages between conservingcultural heritage, maintaining cultural diversity, defining and establishing culturalcitizenship, and enforcing human rights.Exploring Intangible Cultural HeritagePhilip McDermott, an Academy student on the Magee Campus successfullyorganised a postgraduate conference on the theme of ‘Exploring IntangibleCultural Heritage’ on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th February 2008. The keynoteswere delivered by Professor Kristin Kuutma, University of Tartu, Estonia, ProfessorJoan Beal, University of Sheffield, and Dr Linda Ballard, Ulster Folk and TransportMuseum.

This was the first time that the SIEF congresshas come to Ireland or the United Kingdom. The conference was held on theMagee Campus and attracted more than 400+ delegates who explored the themeof ‘Liberating the Ethnological Imagination’.5

Museums and HeritageIn June 2008, the Academy hosted a workshop on the Belfast Campus to explorethe possibility of a Museum Research Network for Northern Ireland and identifyneeds and priorities for research in and with museums. This very successful eventwas co-ordinated by Dr Elizabeth Crooke.Migrant HeritagesThe Community Relations Council funded project Giving a Voice to Africans inNorthern Ireland, West of the Bann was successfully launched in June. The projectwas co-ordinated by Prof. Máiréad Nic Craith. The researchers were Mr. EllyOdhiambo and Dr. Khanyisela Moyo.

It has more thanachieved its goal in this regard with the three UoAs performing exceptionallywell in this RAE, scoring internationally excellent ratings (3*/4*) of, respectively,75%, 55% and 35%. The Academy also contributed to a number of other UoAs,6

oth in Arts – including French and Music – and in other Faculties, including Artand Design, which has maintained its leading position in the UK with 45% of itswork rated internationally excellent, and Politics, which has shown a remarkableimprovement since the last RAE, with 35% internationally excellent research.Heartfelt congratulations and thanks to all staff involved.UoA 4* 3* 2* 1* 0Art and Design 20 25 30 15 10Celtic Studies 35 40 25 0 0English 5 30 50 15 0French 5 20 35 35 5History 15 40 30 15 0Music 0 30 50 15 5Politics 10 25 35 30 0The Academy actively promotes three prominent research themes which havecatalysed the individual research interests of its members:• oral and written heritages• cultural encounters• habitat and habitusThrough these themes and its various externally funded research projects, theAcademy has a strong and growing international profile, reflecting the successfulpursuit of its central aim: ‘to be an internationally recognized centre of excellencefor interdisciplinary research on cultural heritages, both material and nonmaterial,in an international context with particular emphasis on cultural heritagesconnected with the island of Ireland’. It has been a great pleasure to take theAcademy forward over the past five years and to enjoy its growing reputation atnational and international levels.Máiréad Nic CraithProfessor of European Culture and Society,Director (2004-2009)http:/www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/research/aich/index.htm7
