The Vice-Chancellor recently launched the new strategic framework, Shaping our Future: Birmingham 2015.  More information about the framework can be found at www.birmingham.ac.uk/university/about/2015.aspx

In order to support the framework, the University is developing some documents setting out its aspirations for its staff.  The first of these is the Birmingham Academic document (documents open in a new window).

Alternatively we have a tagged PDF, text only, 34KB

We are proposing to implement professorial contribution banding to provide a transparent system to support the Strategic Framework by:

• Clarifying expectations around the professorial career to support individuals to shape their career
• Identifying individual contribution
• Differentiating recognition and reward according to individual contribution

to assist with achieving the potential of the University and of individual professors.
