CIMR academic staff, fellows and alumni
CIMR’s members belong to four categories. The strength of the Centre comes from their interactions:
- Academic staff are the core members of the Centre. They are responsible for the advancement of one or more of our specific research themes. They publish cutting edge articles in the world’s leading journals and work closely with stakeholders.
- PhD students are an essential component in the Centre’s membership. Their affiliation is based on their being either first or second supervised by a core member of the CIMR academic staff. In practice, this means those in the Management Department, however all PhD students who are supervised by CIMR academic staff are invited to attend – e.g. those in Economics, Computer Science and the School of Science.
- Visiting Fellows are special assets for the Centre. They are colleagues who work closely with the CIMR. They include entrepreneurs, policy-makers, business people, academics in other UK universities, and academics who work outside the UK, including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Sweden and the US.
- Alumni are former Masters and PhD students working in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. They have varied career experiences. Their continued involvement brings current ideas and insights to our programme and several of them give guest lectures on our teaching programmes.
