RPF Interactive Workshop for Academics

We are seeking your views for the Research Professional Futures project, a £4.5M Research England-funded initiative to reshape how research is delivered across the sector.

A key aspect of the project is the Culture work package, led by Warwick. As part of this, we want to foster deeper empathy and understanding between professional services, academic staff, and other roles.

We would very much value hearing from academics about their experiences working alongside Research Professionals. These roles include colleagues in R&IS, as well as those in other parts of the university specialising in engagement, researcher development, open research, partnerships, scholarly dissemination and other areas that contribute to the research ecosystem.

Date: 2 July 2026

The session will include structured discussion and interactive activities designed to capture your insights and experiences, which will directly inform the RPF project’s work on research culture. We strongly encourage in-person attendance to support discussion and networking; however, hybrid participation can be arranged if needed.
