Contining the series of posts introducing the Study Tour team, over to you Marion....
I
have worked in further and higher education for most of my career in a variety
of roles, all of them customer facing. I
currently have two roles within the University of Aberdeen – as a Business
Manager in the Health Services Research Unit (www.abdn.ac.uk/hsru) and as a Business
Improvement Specialist in the BI team (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/staffnet/governance/business-improvement-1228.php)
Throughout
my career I have gained knowledge and expertise via personal research and
undertaken skills development and personal development through a variety of formal
and informal courses, workshops and seminars.
However my personal development and knowledge of the higher education
sector has mostly been UK based and I am looking forward to experiencing a
European study tour to give insights into higher education in The Netherlands
and Belgium.
Ruth Coomber and I will be leading Tour Theme 2: The impact of research
and changes in research funding on the HE sector. I am particularly interested in the
research strategies and environments of the institutions that we will be
visiting and will be hoping to bring back some “best practice” to the UK and my
own personal work areas. I also hope
that I can share some of my knowledge and connections with colleagues in The Netherlands
and Belgium.
