Context
• The purpose of a university• Different university missions• The research funding landscape
– RAE/REF (QR)– Project income
• Critical mass

Why do we do research?
• Interest and fun!• Desire to create new knowledge• Push the boundaries of "computing"• Raise profile through publication• Generate external income• Train new researchers (PhD students)• Use research to inform teaching• Create impact
