I felt at the end that we hadn’t quite closed the gaps though. We had some themes of work we had worked on and were looking at next and a general view that we needed engagement with the HoD and that funding would help. We also had Paco’s “spider graph” and I have spent a bit of time on the way home creating a suggestion for what this might look like (attached).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I am not precious about this (and you will see it is very rough) but I think if we could create something it would be fairly powerful and unless someone starts to put ideas down we wont make progress.
