Contents

The report is based on conversations and interviews with almost 100 representatives from universities (including researchers at all career stages), funders and publishers. Ensuring a healthy research culture and environment is crucial to attracting and retaining staff, ensuring a research-led recovery and building the UK’s reputation as a global leader in research. Our toolkit also contains practical ideas and suggestions for universities, funders and publishers, based on the research conducted for the Realising Our Potential report.
The UK is a world leader in research and innovation, but we cannot take our global success for granted. At the heart of our research system are the amazing people who dedicate their careers to advancing new knowledge that will deliver transformative impacts for our health, environment, culture and economy. Russell Group universities are committed to taking a lead in ensuring we have a research culture and environment which truly supports every member of staff to reach their potential and pursue a fulfilling career.
