Warwick is launching a sector leading programme to address under-representation of black academics in UK Higher Education. The Warwick PATHWAY programme will launch at an official event on 22 November, 13:00-14:00 at the Oculus, University of Warwick.

The UK is to re-join the EU's flagship scientific research scheme, Horizon, and be able to fully participate in the programme on the same terms as other associated countries. The deal will allow UK institutions to access the £85bn research programme and pave the way to rebuilding EU partnerships.

Hear from representatives of the largest STEM research funders about their vision for shaping research culture at the Funders’ Research Culture Workshop. The event will feature representatives from UKRI (Research England), Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO) who will share their visions, and update the research community on funding policies.

Successful applicants for Horizon Europe grant awards will be guaranteed funding regardless of the outcome of the UK’s efforts to associate to Horizon Europe, under a new scheme announced by the UK Government on 29 November 2021.

Four Warwick academics have been named in the 2021 Highly Cited Researcher list.

New research asks how the police can use City of Culture to engage the public, whilst also managing crime and protecting event attendees. The project explores how police partnerships around arts and culture can support crime reduction and protect vulnerable people.

A Research Culture Committee has been established to lead a series of projects that will make an important contribution to the University’s research culture going forward.

On 23 March, the Government published its inaugural Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) report, and we are delighted that Warwick has been placed in the top 10% of English higher education institutes for “Public and community engagement”, and the top 20% for “Working with business.”

The University’s Research Development Fund, which was temporarily withdrawn during 2020-2021, has now been reinstated for the 2021/22 academic year.

This will provide pump-priming support for new research initiatives and/or future external funding applications, with approved projects commencing from 01 August 2021.

A new Research Culture Committee has been established to bring together researchers, technicians, PGR students, and professional services staff to have open and collaborative discussions about the University’s research culture, to share best practice, and to influence future developments in this area.

Research integrity is an essential part of research and research culture. It gives confidence to others, including the public, that the methods and results of research are reliable, credible and trustworthy, and ensures that researchers benefit from an open, transparent and supportive research environment.

In order to support the community’s understanding of the principles and practices that protect the integrity of research, the University provides an online training course relevant to all those involved in delivering, supervising or supporting research.

The Research Technology Platforms (RTPs) have launched a new brochure detailing the latest capabilities and contact details for researchers at Warwick, in industry and for universities world-wide to access.

R&IS continues to provide a full service, whilst working remotely in line with University guidance. Find out about how we are supporting R&IS service users, as well as key funder updates in the wake of Covid-19.

Knowledge exchange, industry partnerships and innovation are key components of much of the University’s research. To support this growing area, Professor Kerry Kirwan has been appointed as new Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) for Knowledge Exchange and Partnerships.

On Wednesday 23 October, we held a celebration event for our newly refreshed Global Research Priorities (GRP) programme.

Our GRPs tackle urgent global concerns through interdisciplinary research. They unite researchers from different disciplines to generate real-world impact and help improve the lives of people around the globe.
