Hear from representatives of the largest STEM research funders about their vision for shaping our research culture.

Register your attendance here

Recently, more and more funders are asking academics the question: ‘What are you doing to promote a positive research culture in your lab?’ The Royal Society defines research culture as “encompassing the behaviours, values, expectations, attitudes and norms of our research communities. It influences researchers' career paths and determines the way that research is conducted and communicated.”

We have invited representatives from UKRI (Research England), Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO) to share their visions, and update the research community on funding policies.

Attend this event to see what the future looks like in terms of research culture, and the role of research funding in shaping this. There will also be opportunities to ask your own questions to the speakers during a panel discussion.

Everyone is welcome to attend. We particularly encourage questions from early career researchers (PhD students, Postdocs).

Between 10am and 3pm on the 25th April, please come and informally chat with our architects, BDP, as well the STEM GC programme team for the third STEM Grand Challenge Design Day.

You will spot us located on the Science Concourse with our latest plans. We are encouraging staff and students to stop, ask questions and hear about the business case we are submitting to Council in May.

If you prefer, we are holding a briefing session that will include a 30min presentation followed by a Q&A session. Professor Lorenzo Frigerio, Vice Provost and Chair of the Faculty, will be opening the session with an update on our plans, followed by information from our architects BDP.

Please feel free to bring your lunch/coffee and questions and join the session – no need to register.

• 11am - 12noon Room B2.04 (Concourse)

We welcome your views and are actively seeking your input on the future of science and Engineering on campus.
