The SRSS and
the IRMC held an Academic Showcase the Council Chamber, on Wednesday 21st
of January, 2009.
Objectives
- To introduce the areas of research being pursued by IRMRC and SRSS
staff
- To explore opportunities for shared research and grant applications
- To identify areas in which recruitment would enhance existing skills
and expertise in research
Presentations
An introductory presentation will give an overview of the research activities,
and capabilities, of the IRMRC and the SSRS. We will then hear a research
presentation from each of the key research areas from each group (12 minutes
each, plus 3 minutes for questions and changeover). Talks should
provide an overview of the research area, relevant available skillsets,
and example projects.
Workshop
Opportunities for shared research Researchers from each of the groups will
have an opportunity during a roundtable discussion to develop ideas for
future research, identify possible synergies and partners, and lead projects
to collaborate on.
The key themes on which we will focus our discussion include:
- Road and transport injury
- Recreation and sport injury
- Work injury
- Risk and disaster management
- Patient Safety and Health Services Research

LIST OF PAPERS
The list below are papers that will be showcased on the day. Click on
the paper's title to download it in PDF form. Please note that although
some of these papers have multiple authors, only the primary SRSS/IRMRC
author is indicated in this list. In some instances, there is more than
one author from within the group, as well as other external authors..
NOTE: Due to copyright reasons, we can no longer have these documents
linked and downloaded directly from this website.
They have been moved to the \shared\collaboration\showcase
folder on your shared Novell drives. You
can get these papers from there.
Alternatively, if you know the link for a paper on the publisher's website,
and it is publicly accessible from there, then you can provide me
with that link and I will attach it to the relevant paper.
