Linda Brougthon and her team from the NTI have set up a great website for our faculty: http://www.innovationnorth.co.uk - The Innovation Bank. One of the very nice and useful things that are there is the interaction regarding Level-3 final year projects: students can access project ideas, and supervisors can manage these projects.
The site is publicly accessible over the web.

SDF: Faculty Day
On Thursday the day of our faculty, Innovation North, in the Leeds Met Staff Development Festival. I attended a workshop given by a specialist on Intellectual Property (IP), and then joined Tony Bryant in the workshop "I am a researcher - get me out of here!".
In the afternoon, the Ideas Factory presentations were repeated, and I got my medal a second time (after I had handed it in before).
During the last plenary keynote talk I was asked to joint the faculty management team who were sitting in the first row. Tony was not to be found, so I was told that I should say something about research as kind of closing remarks of the day. During the quite funny keynote by comedian Kevin McCarron I was collecting my thoughts to produce some meaningful sentences (without any powerpoint slides!). Then we all walked onto the stage. As I take place, I see that Tony is here too! He must have been there all the time, just had not been noticed. So what now about my words about research? I do not want to say the same as he, since this would just "his show"... so when it is my turn I talk something general about the Staff Development Festival, instead of what I had wanted to say (which was how to link research with student-related teaching etc.). Then Tony gave his public address, and our faculty day closed.

Best Wishes for our Dean!
The Dean of our faculty Innovation North, Cath Orange, is leaving the faculty to become university-wide Dean for Post-Graduate Programs. She had been at Innovation North for 4 years, one year before I joined the faculty. On Thursday, we had a little celebration and a fare-well dinner to her honour.
I am very grateful to her, as she had been in the committee for my appointment here at the University. Best wishes for Cath in her new role, where we will continue to work together!

The Faculty Board meeting of INN took this time place at Harrogate College. Since in a few months Harrogate College will be joining with Hull College, this was the last time that the board meeting would take place in Harrogate.
