Research experience Definition and 72 Threads

The Religious Experience Research Centre was founded by the distinguished marine biologist Professor Alister Hardy FRS in 1969 as The Religious Experience Research Unit. He and his co-researchers began to gather a unique archive of accounts of religious experience and to publish research into the area. The maintenance of both the archives and the research and publications have continued. The Centre organises conferences and produces both books and a series of Occasional Papers on religious experience and spirituality.
Sir Alister was awarded the Templeton Prize for Progress In Religion in 1985 and the Centre has since received a grant from the Templeton Foundation for the computerisation of the archives. The Centre was located at Manchester College, Oxford from 1969-1989 and from 1989–1999 at Westminster College, Oxford. In 2000 the Centre moved to the University of Wales, Lampeter
(presently University of Wales, Trinity Saint David).
The directors of the Centre are currently Greg Barker, Bettina Schmidt and Sally Wilkinson.

    Schools Grad school with little/no research experience in between.

    Here goes another wild stab in the dark: As a quick refresher, I will be graduating with a bachelors in physics in a month. I was not successful in getting into grad school this year (I got waitlisted at UMN but was ultimately turned down, I also should have applied to more schools/bigger...

    Schools Applying for grad school What to do about a not-so-good research experience?

    Hi, I worked for a professor as a visiting student at XYZ university this spring on a research project. He delegated the supervision to one of his assistants who didn't really seem to care about the project. I should have worked with more focus instead of simply doing what he wanted me to...

    Schools High school senior looking to get some minor summer research experience.

    Hi all. I'm a high school senior. After a lot of reading through this forum I have noticed that a lot of people do undergrad research. This is a completely new idea for me. I was always under the impression that research starts at grad school at the earliest. I've even noticed some high school...

    Finding the balance:Grades vs Research Experience

    In order to give a quick background: I am a first-year university student. So far pretty much all I have been doing is to study from textbooks, solve problems, etc. Thus I have been able to attain A's in all exams so far. Yet, the question pops up whether it would be more beneficial (beyond the...

    Can I still get into REU programs if I have research experience at a big school?

    I go to a big school with lots of physics research available. I started in a group at the beginning of this year, and I'm a junior and have good grades. From looking on different REU program websites it seems like a lot of them seem to want people with limited access to research at their...

    So for undergrads in the natural sciences, there exists a multitude of programs and internships and whatnot for research experience--but are there equivalent programs specifically for undergrads studying pure or applied math? What are they like and where can I find out about them? How important...

    Can anyone share your research experience?

    Lots of thoughts come to my mind recently... I'm an undergraduate in mechanical engineering. I would like to pursue further studies and hopefully get a Ph.D if possible. I would said I am a bit like a theorist-type person, a bit crap in mechanical skills. But I am doing very well in simply...
