Subject: [Hermes] RAE 2008 Presentations

Dear all

Professor David Boxer, Vice Principal (Research & Enterprise) will visit all four Colleges to give a presentation on the RAE 2008. His presentation will cover the significance of the RAE for the University of Dundee, including its implications for funding and its possible future after 2008. Professor Boxer will explain the University's objectives for the RAE 2008 including quantity/quality issues and the Equality & Diversity Code of Practice. He will also detail the structure and procedures to be followed in carrying out the exercise.

The presentation is open to all staff in each College. Ideally, we would like you to attend the presentation for your own College, but if you are unable to do so, please feel free to attend one of the other presentations (preferably the one in the Tower Extension Lecture Theatre).

The dates/venues of the presentations are as follows:
