Description
The annual Discovery Days began in 2004, and since that time they have brought the work of 147 new professors at the University of Dundee to the attention of a wide non-specialist audience, including members of the public, schools and academic & support staff from across the University.These presentations have, over the years, given us the rare privilege of observing the process and the impact of discoveries across a breathtaking array of topics and issues from the latest educational theory, through innovations in construction, critical thinking and economics to skin disease, drug discovery and breast cancer imaging.
At Discovery Days 2011, we will be welcoming a further fourteen new professors, talking on subjects as rich and varied as conservation in the Antarctic, poetry in the 21st Century, food production, medical imaging and the link between diabetes and obesity.
The event also hosts three of our leading learning and teaching practitioners, who will also give us insight into new and innovative teaching methodologies and technology.
Discovery Days 2011 promises to be a fascinating whirlwind tour through the outstanding achievements and future plans of our new Chairs, and I hope very much that you will join me on what will be a voyage of discovery for us all.
