The AMEE Research Committee was established in 2012 to increase the support for educational research and research activities for the AMEE community.
The AMEE Research Committee is very active, managing a portfolio of scholarly activities which includes two research grant programmes; a research stream within the conference programme; PhD awards, and the development of resources.
Our Research Committee members represent four continents, and are established researchers with a breadth of methodological and theoretical expertise/knowledge. We are proud of the past and present members of the AMEE Research Committee, all of whom are well-known for their expertise and who represent many different nations.
The AMEE Research Committee believes that it is essential to provide opportunities and support for AMEE members with varying levels of research experience: from those who are well-established to colleagues who are just starting to engage with education research.

Margaret Hay (Australia), Martin Tolsgaard (Denmark), and Tim Wilkinson (New Zealand) rotated off the committee in September 2020. Our thanks to them for all the time and commitment they have given to the committee over the last years.
The Research Committee members and activities are organised into networks, each led by a committee member, working with a Deputy Network Lead.
All Committee members contribute to the many Research Committee activities during the annual AMEE conference (see below for further information).
Research Committee members are invited for a five year term. If you are interested in contributing to the Research Committee, please contact Ayelet Kuper via the AMEE general enquires email address, or visit our stand at the AMEE conference.

Meetings
The AMEE Research Committee networks have regular calls to organise and manage their activities. During the AMEE Conferences the Committee has a closed meeting and an exhibition stand. Please visit our stand to meet Research Committee members, find out more about what we do, and to offer your help with Committee activities!
