Why expose research?… aside from the obvious global impact – making the world a better place…

Things that matter;

Being cited Being on TV Being in the press Being talked about Getting the funding!

Why?

Increase citations (Imminence of REF)

More (better!) students / researchers

Greater impact

Opportunities tocollaborate

We are what peoplethink we are
