International Research Culture Conference 2023 Highlights

International Research Culture Conference 2023

When it comes to research culture, we’re all in it together.

The International Research Culture Conference (IRCC) brings together those working in research to foster meaningful conversations and build an inclusive community of practice.

IRCC24 will be taking place on 16 September 2024.

IRCC23 attracted nearly 400 delegates in-person and online.

It showcased innovative research culture initiatives, shared latest research about research culture, captured, discussed and documented research culture knowledge, with an opportunity for attendees and presenters to submit a 'Critical Reflection' to a Research Culture Special Issue of Warwick's open access Exchanges Journal.
