| Development Potential | There is great potential for the development of collaborative research projects. Consideration is being given to developing research in areas of common interest, especially in the area of border studies. It is hoped to establish an institute of Social and Cultural Medicine in conjunction with the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland, which will also involve an Institute in Armagh affiliated with Queen's. | ||
