Business School Taskforces

In our quest to make the transition to a business school our strategy process will consist of a series of taskforces in five themes:

1) The business school strategy,
2) Start-up activities,
3) Accreditation,
4) Educational development and
5) Research & funding excellence.

Each taskforce will consist of between 2 and 5 members of the department and run for a maximum of 100 days, by which time outputs will have been pitched to the Department Council and the Management Group. For background on the business school process read the strategy document and the Power Point presentation that was presented at the department seminar:

OVERVIEW OF FUNDING BODIES AND ALTERNATIVE FUNDING BODIES

The purpose is to get an overview of relevant funding opportunities for AAUBS. Generally, relevant funding is research-relevant funding that has the possibility to lead to research impact and simultaneously deliver sufficient overhead.

The task force should not limit its work to the funding sources we traditionally target, but also aim to identify alternative relevant funding sources.

Finally, the task force should also consider alternative ways to generate income to AAUBS in general.
