Research culture and environment is the way that we collaborate, communicate, and interact with each other; it is the behaviours, attitudes, and values that shape how our research is developed, conducted, and used; and it is the mechanisms by which we recognise and reward our work.
We all have an essential role in this – the University through its support and development of our research community and you through your commitment to a conscientious, considerate way of working.
Facilitating a research culture that is creative, collegial and collaborative has been built into the themes of Our Future Research and Discovery strategic plan, our Statement of Research Contribution Expectations and in our academic and research promotions criteria.
Our research culture themes, which build on Vitae’s Research Culture Framework, are explored in the boxes below.
The images used to highlight our Research Culture themes were submitted by UoM Postgraduate Researchers as part of the ‘Images of Research’ competition, which forms part of our annual PGR Showcase. These images authentically demonstrate the real-world outcomes of our university’s research culture. You can find more at Research culture and environment themes – Images of Research.
