A message from Professor Shearer West, President and Vice-Chancellor  

The deadline for responses to our university-wide consultation on a new research strategy is extended to 5pm, Tuesday 4 May. We are encouraging all staff to respond to a simple set of questions on the future of research at the University of Nottingham.    

Your support is invaluable. Giving colleagues more time to take part in the survey allows for Easter holiday commitments and a well-earned break from work.  

We have had a good response so far, with colleagues in research and teaching roles leading the way. We hope colleagues from all job families across our campuses in the UK, China, and Malaysia will continue to support the consultation.  

We look forward to your insights, and to joining you in further engagement activities to support the consultation over the coming months. 

Please discover more about our research consultation, and do encourage colleagues to take part. 

Your responses will help us work together to create a new strategy for research, driving our progress towards a fairer and more resilient society and strengthening the bedrock of our teaching and learning. By engaging our whole community in this consultation, we will be better prepared for new opportunities and  challenges ahead.   

Following our consultation, the University of Nottingham Research Strategy 2022-27 will be launched in December 2021.    

Thank you once again for your support.    

Professor Shearer West
Vice-Chancellor
