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 core pillars of research culture (below), 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
You can read the full responsibilities of the Steering Group in the terms of reference which will be published here shortly.
