4 Research Office European University Association Research Policy Working Group Following a recent nomination from the IUA, Professor Lokesh Joshi has been selected as a member of the European University Association Research Policy Working Group. Horizon2020 Clodagh Barry has recently joined the Research Office team with the responsibility of delivering Horizon2020 support on campus. In the month of June a number of college focus groups were held across campus and in total 96 research constitutents attended. The aim of this focus group was to gather feedback on what the campus research community required in this area. While the outcome of the Focus Group is underway a number of short networking lunch events will take place this summer in order to share the existing campus EU experience. Resources: to find a framework for getting Horizon 2020 ready - http://www.nuigalway.ie/research-office/funding/eu/

• Recommendations for ‘Getting Started’ this summer are:

What can I do on campus? What can I do on my own?

Consider & ask for a campus EU mentor to move forward with your next step

Does your National Contact Point (http://www.fp7ireland.com/contacts.aspx) know you and your areas of interest?

Come along to the Summer Horizon 2020 series – 09th July, 23rd July, 06th Aug, 20th Aug

Promote your expertise by presenting at European Networks/Conferences for your area this year

Network with identified Potential Partners

Participate in EU R&D Conferences (http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=EN_NEWS_EVENT)

Join Relevant European R&D Association (ww.hyperion.ie/euassociations.htm)

Research Matters Research Matters contains articles which focus mainly on the aim of the research and its potential impacts, rather than on the acquisition of funding or new staff recruits. The content of Research Matters focuses on the stories behind the research. It is circulated in an email format to all staff which enables readers to read the content online or download partial (single article) pdf or complete pdfs. There are also printed copies available which are distributed to some staff members and there are copies available in the Research Office. Please see link below to the current issue of Research Matters, Issue 5, which was produced in Summer 2013: http://www.nuigalway.ie/media/staffsub-sites/researchoffice/files/Research-Matters-Issue-5.pdf

IRIS Enhancements Over the last few months we have been working to add a number of enhancements to IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) which we have outlined below:

• You can now receive email alerts from IRIS to alert you of any new publications which IRIS

has pulled from Web of Science and Pubmed into your IRIS profile (based on your author name and NUI Galway address name variants). IRIS will also search for publications you have co-authored with another NUI Galway member; this means that you can claim your publication instead of manually entering it. To turn on your email alerts – Login to IRIS (http://www.nuigalway.ie/research-office/onlinesystems/iris/ and select ‘Preferences’ from the horizontal menu and click ‘Yes’ on the tick box to ‘Receive Email Alerts’.

• Research Postgraduate E-Prospectus 'Find A Supervisor' web feed. IRIS now has a live feed on the Courses section (http://www.nuigalway.ie/courses/research-postgraduate-programmes/choosing-a-research-programme/find-a-supervisor.html) of the external

website which can be viewed externally to help potential students identify supervisors and their key research interests. To be included in this web feed please complete the relevant information: http://www.nuigalway.ie/media/staffsub-sites/researchoffice/files/Find-A-Supervisor.pdf

• Community Engagement - IRIS has been upgraded to include a new Community Engagement section under the Professional tab. This section holds information on Advocacy, Board Membership (Boards of Community Based Org, NGO), Consultancy (Pro-bono), Outreach, Policy Development, Research (e.g. Community based research) and Teaching (e.g. Service learning / community based learning).

• IRIS now has a live feed on the Research website (http://www.nuigalway.ie/our-research/people/) and can be viewed externally which highlights your expertise, publication s etc. This feed also gives you your own personal web address for your published profile which can be included on your own/discipline/school webpage’s eliminating the need to update a separate webpage. The College of Business, Public Policy & Law (http://www.nuigalway.ie/cbppl/) now use the IRIS feed for all their staff profiles.

5 Research Accounts Audit findings on Value Added Tax VAT findings in a number of audits is that it is being accounted for incorrectly leading to penalties, delays, extra costs.

• Know from the outset the VAT Status of your Research Project as this determines what VAT codes you should use when raising Purchase Orders/Requisitions etc.

• Available from Agresso using the following Report “Research Project Summary” (https://agresso.nuigalway.ie/Agresso/)

1. Vatable (VAT is reclaimable). The amount excluding VAT is charged to the Research Project.

2. Non Vatable (VAT is not reclaimable) 3. The full cost including VAT is charged to the Research Project

• Information on What Vat codes to use are available on the Financial Accounting (http://www.nuigalway.ie/administration_services/financial_accounting/) website and by contacting Financial Accounting.
