Supporting Quality Research and Researcher Development - From Policy to Practice:

All you need to know about the new Researcher Development Time Policy, Research Code of Practice and Research Data Management & Sharing Policy

This is a live, hybrid event. 

Please note that this booking page is for registering to participate in the event ONLINE via Zoom. If you'd like to participate in the event on campus, you can register here.

The University is proud to have launched a range of new and revised policies over the past year that are essential for promoting high-quality research, underpinned by best practice in research integrity and a positive research culture. The most prominent of these are the Research Code of Practice, Research Data Management & Sharing Policy as well as a new Researcher Development Time Policy. 

With presentations from senior University leaders, colleagues from RKES and OSDU as well as example case studies, this event will explore what these policies look like in practice, how they fit into broader research strategies and what they mean for individuals working in research environments. There will also be plenty of time for questions! 

Whether you are a research staff member, academic or other professional working in research, come along to find out more and learn about the benefits and expectations that these policies will bring for you! 

The Researcher Development Time Policy is targeted at research staff members and their line managers, providing clear expectations on time for professional and career development that research staff should be supported to undertake. 

The Research Code of Practice is targeted at anyone involved in research at the University, outlining key principles and expected standards for the production and dissemination of high-quality research. It also provides extensive information on best practices and behaviours throughout the various stages of the research lifecycle. 

The Research Data Management & Sharing Policy is also relevant for anyone involved in research at the University, explaining best practices and expectations on how research data should be handled and shared.
