Research Culture Community Network Inaugural meeting

We are excited to announce the launch of the Research Culture Community Network at the University of St Andrews, a new, inclusive platform for anyone interested in shaping and strengthening our research culture.

We want research culture at St Andrews to be co-created, and community led. The network will provide a mechanism and a space for bringing together academic staff, researchers, technicians, professional services staff, and anyone passionate about enabling a positive, inclusive and collaborative research culture.

The Network will:

  • provide a platform for knowledge sharing and surfacing best practices and innovative approaches across the institution
  • allow for discussion around challenges and opportunities
  • connect colleagues across disciplines and build a community of practice
  • contribute to shaping the future of research culture at St Andrews

At this inaugural gathering of the Network, we will:

  • outline our initial Research Culture priorities for 2025-2026
  • share preliminary ideas for an Institutional Research Culture Action Plan
  • seek feedback on these initial ideas and initiatives as part of the co-design process
  • hear from colleagues leading inspiring work to improve research culture
  • create space for open discussion and connection

Everyone is welcome, whether you're deeply involved in research culture work or simply curious to learn more. This is a space for all voices and perspectives. We hope this will be the first of many opportunities to collaborate, learn and grow our research culture together.

There will be two inaugural Research Culture Community Network events, one in-person and one online:
