 ‘Research culture encompasses the behaviours, values, expectations, attitudes and norms of our research communities. It influences researchers’ career paths and determines the way that research is conducted and communicated’. – The Royal Society[1]

The 2021 Research Education and Development Scholarship Conference asks:

  • How can personal and professional development for researchers impact upon change in research culture?
  • How do we develop and support agents and drivers of change across all the stages of a research career?
  • What role is played in change, by those working in the professional development of researchers? How do we provide strategic support for the development of ‘behaviours, values, expectations, attitudes and norms’ for researchers?
  • What lessons can be learnt from online working? Which approaches help to create more inclusive environments?
