Research Profile

Fiona Catherine Chambers

Biography

As  a senior leader in higher education with 30+ years of global experience in education, sport and innovation, I have a very strong background in leading strategic planning and designing complex educational environments. Coupled with this, I have an extraordinary passion and commitment to educating people to use innovation to solve complex problems.

My experience is built on the foundations of two recent university-centric strategic leadership roles: Head of the School of Education at University College Cork and Chair of the Academic Council Learning and Teaching Committee. My experience in these roles has been augmented by my two current global roles as elected President of AIESEP (Association Internationale des Écoles Superiéure d’Éducation Physique) and elected Vice President of CEREPS (European Council for Research in Physical Education and School Sport). 


I am a senior academic researcher in my field, having been awarded 
€3.3m in funding (including €2.25m from the Higher Education Authority in Ireland) and international grants (EU and World Antidoping Agency), totalling 30 funded grants. I am a prolific researcher with many peer-reviewed publications (5 edited books; 22 books for teacher educators and schools; 44 book chapters; 24 peer reviewed articles; 116 conference papers; and c.35 invited keynotes).

With regard to my civic engagement, I teach design thinking and innovation across the trisector
through c.100 design thinking master classes delivered locally in Ireland and internationally. To promote life-long physical activity in society I founded  a range of research-informed networks over  my entire career. Most recently, between 2020 and 2022, I was awarded €2.25m in Human Capital Initiative funding to co-found the Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation through Design Thinking across the School of Education and Cork University Business School. Our UCC Design Team (StrategicDesign@UCC), under my leadership, was awarded membership of the prestigious Global Design Thinking Alliance in 2022. Because of this work, (i) I am an appointed visiting professor of practice in innovation at four institutions (in North America, India and Austria), (ii) I was appointed to both the National Coaching Committee and the National Sportstech Talent Advisory Group and (iii) I was honoured for my work in innovation globally when I received the inaugural Women in Business in Sport award at the Irish Sports Industry Awards in 2023.  In addition to this, my global professional reputation has resulted in me being recruited as a design thinking consultant to facilitate innovation projects focused on education (examples include universities, national and international sporting organisations, global businesses, etc.).

All Island All Active

Dr. Fiona Chambers and Professor Deirdre Brennan (University of Ulster) founded All Island All Active in November 2012.
The new All Island All Active cross border body provides leading academics, practitioners, politicians, policy
makers, parents, active sport participants and strategic industry partners a space to collaborate to develop
common pedagogical (teaching and learning) strategies in Sport and Physical Activity settings across schools,
clubs and communities on the Island of Ireland. It is argued that by working together through AIAA, we can be
more effective in our shared aim of encouraging individuals and communities to become and remain physically
active across the lifespan. This unique body of stakeholders have committed to a unified approach to the
promotion of quality lifelong Sport and Physical Activity. Importantly, this enabling platform will enable
stakeholders to pool their knowledge and expertise to develop effective evidence-based pedagogical
strategies that can have genuine impact in supporting the public to initiate and maintain participation in Sport
and Physical Activity throughout their lives. AIAA is distinct on the Island of Ireland in its commitment to
innovative multidisciplinary and robust research shaped by the needs of public, private, community and
voluntary sectors. A recent AIAA funding workshop rallied leaders from the Sport and Physical Activity industry
responsible for inspiring, steering, funding, managing, coordinating, volunteering, researching and reporting
on participation in Sport and Physical Activity. This engagement led to the design of a unified AIAA focus; ‘‘To
improve levels of physical activity across the Island of Ireland through effective teaching and learning
strategies: 12% increase in physical activity levels in 12 years.


Project Draíocht: I am a member of the UCC Steering Committee of Project Draíocht.  The Project comprises a university hub of four universities - UCC, Cork Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tralee and Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut. The hub, based on the Dingle Peninsula educates visiting students in the areas of Irish culture.  I am currently developing a programme on The Culture of Irish Sport for this Project.

Sport for Life All Island

Working with our students in 36 Cork Primary Schools to deliver a Physical Activity and Health programme and to measure impact of this programme on physical activity levels and general wellbeing.
