- Managing university research: the case of India Reports
- This is the report of the second research management programme seminar, which was held in Goa, India, in 2002. The main purpose of the seminar was to compare approaches and structures between participating universities at every stage of the research process - starting with the attraction of research grants and establishing collaboration, through contract negotiation and monitoring of progress, to closure of projects, identification of key results and their commercial exploitation, or dissemination to wider society. In each case, discussion focused on the key question of whether the central university could assist the process, and if so what practical measures could be adopted.

- Research management in African universities Reports
- This report publishes the results of the first research management programme seminar, held in Durban, South Africa, from 1-3 April 2001. The seminar brought together representatives of eleven universities - five from South Africa and six from elsewhere on the continent - deliberately chosen to reflect different levels of current provision. The purpose of the event was twofold. First, it gave participants an opportunity to benchmark current activities in detail, and identify specific areas for development. Second, it provided the programme organisers with valuable insight into the current level of activity and barriers to further progress.

Module 3 'Women and research', by Ingrid Moses (Australian) argues that research prowess enables women to take their share of professorial positions and suggests strategies whereby women can improve their research capacity and hence their visibility. - Claudia Harvey Commonwealth Secretariat Gwendoline Williams June Gleeson Margaret Rowland Sheryl Bond The Association of Commonwealth Universities

- Gender Programme training module 7: Women and mentoring in higher education Tools
- Part of the ACU Gender Programme training series, this is the seventh module. Produced by Colleen Chesterman (Australian), looks at the particular relevance of mentoring for higher education and argues that women, through their relatively limited access to higher management, are particularly well suited to mentoring relationships. The module examines the value of mentoring from a variety of angles, proposes training for both mentors and mentees, and considers the relative benefits of formal and informal systems.
