-
The award recognises the measures the University is taking to improve working conditions and career development opportunities for research staff by implementing the principles of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers and The European Charter for Researchers.
The University’s Researcher Development Concordat Steering Group, which replaced the Research Staff Working Group, oversees progress against the Concordat Implementation Plan.
Every three years the University must undertake a formal review of its progress and update the Concordat Implementation Plan, setting out the strategy and actions for the next three-year period. This action plan goes to external peer review and is ratified by the UK HREiR panel.
