Research Culture Steering Group

We are responsible for developing a positive research culture that drives high-quality research outcomes, and high-quality careers and experiences for all.

We focus on six strategic pillars of research culture, focussing on the aims and objectives laid out in our Research Culture Action Plan:

  • collegiality
  • career development
  • research recognition
  • open research
  • research design
  • research ethics and integrity
