Dr. Ciarán Seoighe:

That is a pertinent question and something about which we have been exercised. One of the programmes we introduced is our TU partnership programme. The ability to apply for research is as much a cultural thing and a learning thing as it is anything else. There is an onus on the TUs to become much more research intensive. In our partnership model, we partner the technological universities with the universities that have long-standing experience of doing that and the idea is that knowledge will transfer across the TUs to help with leapfrogging the process a little.
