The University of Ulster, Jordanstown hosted a workshop entitled: Research Informed Teaching: Purpose and Practical Application on Monday 19th January 2009. 

The workshop aimed to motivate and provide guidance to: non-research active staff who are looking for ways to incorporate research into teaching at university degree level; early stage lecturers who want to identify delivery ideas/approaches; and mature academic (research active) teaching staff who want to consider alternative approaches to integrating research into their teaching.

A number of academics spoke at the seminar across a range of subjects: Professor Ann-Marie Ward (University of Ulster, Jordanstown) and Professor John Forker (University of Bath) discussed the issue of integrating research into Financial Accounting teaching; Professor Donal McKillop (Queen’s University Belfast) and Professor Philip Hamill (University of Ulster, Coleraine) spoke in the context of research informed teaching in Finance; and Professor Stan Brignall (Aston Business School) and Professor Joan Ballantine (University of Ulster, Jordanstown) spoke in the context of research informed teaching in Management Accounting.

Approximately 35 academic staff from the UK attended the workshop.

Feedback from those attending suggested that the workshop had been particularly beneficial in terms of identifying a range of approaches for integrating research into accounting and finance teaching. 

Due to the success of this event, the organisers are hoping to run a similar event in mainland UK and Ireland in the next 12 months. 

The seminar was organised by academic staff from the University of Ulster: Professor Ann-Marie Ward, Professor Joan Ballantine and Professor Philip Hamill. 

The workshop was jointly funded by BMAF and the School of Accounting, University of Ulster, Jordanstown. January 2009.
