Event Details

As the research landscape evolves, with growing attention to research culture in the sector — such as People, Culture and Environment in REF2029, metascience, research assessment, open research, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research teams, and equality, diversity and inclusion — it’s increasingly important for RMAs to engage with research culture principles. This workshop offers essential insights and collaborative strategies to help RMAs enhance their practice and take an active role in driving positive cultural developments within their teams and institutions.

• A foundational understanding of the importance and growing relevance of research culture within the sector.
• Insights into how to reflect on and influence research culture in their practice.
• Collaborative strategies to engage in shaping and leading research culture change in their teams and institutions.
