1. Promotion and facilitation:  Events The School’s programme of events, which includes library events (categorized as Other events), has remained steady since 2013-14 (from 2081 in 2013-14 to 2073). Seminars, a proven popular format in the Humanities, remain the largest component, despite a 12% decrease (from 1383 in 2013-14 to 1222). Workshops have Type and Number of Events increased by 34% (from 50 to 67) while Other Events have increased by 41% (from 350 to 493).

organized locally and nationally in collaborations with our partners; Exhibitions, such as the IMLR’s Exile Lives Told through the Archives. An Exhibition in association with the Senate House Library, focuses on the experiences of German-speaking refugees who came to the UK in the 1930s after the National Socialists took power in central Europe.

Film screening and debates on matters which arose from the screening such as the ILAS’ Chilean Cinema of the late 1960s: Special screening and debate with the authors of Evolución en libertad: El cine chileno de fines de los sesenta (Editorial Cuarto Propio, 2014).

Experimental events such as sensory and visual experiments, such as events organized under the AHRC Funded project Rethinking the Senses Book launches, such as the IHR’s Launch of the Popular Musical Theatre in London and Berlin, 1890-1939

49% (1036) of the School’s entire programme demonstrated engagement with the public at many levels. Of these 49%, 41% (859) included some representation from organizations outside the Higher Education sector, and 8% (177) showed active engagement.

4 School of Advanced Study Metrics, 2014-15

36% of SAS events were collaborative both inside and outside the School. SAS institutes collaborated on a number of events including partnering with other organizations such as external charities, societies, museums and foundations:

-

-

The European Society for Philosophy and Psychology (ENSO) which collaborated with the Human Mind Project team to organize the Symposium Theory of Mind and the Social Mind The Society for the History of Discoveries which collaborated with the School to hold its 56th Annual Meeting Peace Brigades International which collaborated with the Human Rights Consortium on the seminar Community Consultation and Megaprojects: Addressing the Gaps

Reflecting the breadth of collaboration, 62% (1288) of the events programme in 2014-15 were interdisciplinary, contributing to the School’s third key performance indicator to increase in number, range and impact of collaborations fostering interdisciplinarity in the humanities and beyond.

2. Research support: 

Use of SAS Libraries

Registrations to SAS libraries recorded a 1% decrease (from 18,321 in 2013-14 to 18,050) and a 5% increase in footfall (number of entries) (from 202,891 in 2013-14 to 213,456).

Downloads of particular resources available at the School such as papers on our institutional repository SAS-Space, images via the Iconographic collection of the Warburg Institute, or PDF files such as the BAILII quick guide of IALS, have doubled since 2013-14 (from 4.4m in 2013-14 to 8m). Streaming and browsing activities decreased by 4% (from 67.5K since 2013-14 to 64.5k).

Subscribers in 2014-15 reached over 148.7K of individuals across all platforms. While 2013-14 only recorded 45.3K, the large difference can be explained by better measuring of archived websites. As a result, we will only be able to confirm whether the figures represent a ‘real’ increase in usage in 2015-16. Usage of social media and blogs also increased since 201314 from 23.7K ‘likes’ and 25.1K followers, by 31% and 114% respectively, all evidence of the School’s achievements on KPI 2.

Fellowships

The School fellowship schemes aim to provide a supportive and well-resourced research environment for scholars at all levels and from all around the world. In 2014-15, the number of visiting fellows decreased by 6% (from 135 in 2013-14). 678 researchers, students, other scholars and experts in their fields were associated to the School in some form, representing a decrease of 9% since 2013-14 (from 743). This can be explained by the review of fellowship schemes undertaken by several institutes and which began in 2014-15 and resulted in a reclassification of ‘fellows’.

24% (511) of the full cohort of fellows were undertaking interdisciplinary research, though by contrast 37% (48) of the visiting fellows only were interdisciplinary. Fellows included: -

-

Two NZ-UK Link Foundation Visiting Professors, Professors Baker and Gauld; whose visit allowed them to give several talks in London, including at the Wellcome Trust and the NHS Three School Visiting Professorial Fellows, Dr Imre Demhardt, Dr Vicky Williamson and Professor Philip Pettit, whose visits also allowed them to travel in the UK and share their research.
