You are invited to join a series of online town halls in January 2022 to find out more about the university’s renewed strategy for research.

Professor Dame Jessica Corner, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange, said: “We encourage everyone who contributes to the delivery of research to join us and shape our vision.

“In the coming months, we will continue to engage with our research community and involve you in delivery of our renewed strategy for research.

“We are strengthening our commitment to delivering research of the highest quality and better preparing for challenges and opportunities in a rapidly changing policy and funding landscape.

“At the heart of this strategy is our commitment to building an inclusive, supportive, and truly transdisciplinary research culture.”

The five town halls will be conducted via Microsoft teams. If you are unable to attend your faculty’s event, please feel free to attend one of the other sessions – colleagues from Professional Services are invited to attend the town hall that suits you best.
