On train to a consultation by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills about Framework Programme 8, the post-2013 European Funding programme. More relevant to work than to the PhD but it will indicate the future nature of the actions coming from Europe for Universities - as well as the reduced cash available.
Been thinking about the methodology lecture on Wednesday and the comment that the methodology is one of the ways which one's research can be made unique. I may need to concentrate on this a little more!
The way I can explain the changes in my PhD research questions (no longer exploring Higher Education's reasons for taking part in Erasmus Mundus) has to be in terms of (1) HE is the deliverer, I am interested in the impact on the student, (2) looking at one University does not allow for generalisation, (3) the HEI is one of the influences on the Erasmus Mundus student and should not be singled out and (4) I am interested in the policy/student relationship and not the interim. Clutching at straws? Definitely.
