Research Culture Roadmap 2021
We launched ‘
Research Culture at Newcastle University: The Road Ahead
’ in October 2021. We invited people from across our community to tell us what they thought.
We
heard from more than 400 colleagues and students
and as a result we promised to:
take an action-oriented approach with clear, specific actions that lead to concrete changes
build an approach that's inclusive, hears from different voices from our community and ensures what we do matters to people
better communicate with the community about what we’ve done and what our plans are in response to what we hear
engage the community in further consultation activities as workstreams develop, including around key issues identified
Research Culture Survey 2022
It's the first time we've asked our research community to share their thoughts about Newcastle’s existing research culture.
The participants shared ideas for improvements, which have fed into our
Research Culture Action Plan
.
To tailor our future actions, we analysed our survey data by ‘role’. For simplicity here, we present the overall findings from across the institution, organised by three emerging themes.
Collaboration
54% agree the university promotes a collaborative research culture.
76% find that members of the research community share their expertise when asked.
73% feel confident they know how people with different roles/expertise contribute to research.
36% do not feel that their contributions to research are valued by the University.
Realising our potential
66% agreed that creativity is welcomed in their research environment.
51% do not feel they have quality time to think creatively and develop their ideas.
58% agree they are encouraged to develop their skills and expertise.
38% agree the development opportunities offered by the university enhance their career progression.
88% understand the benefits of open research.
50% believe that the university values open research practices.
An inclusive culture
94% think diversity is important in research and innovation.
33% do not feel safe to challenge the way things are done to help improve research.
32% do not feel that discriminatory or inappropriate behaviour would be dealt with effectively.

Newcastle University Research Culture Action Plan
Our actions to make a positive research culture change.
Committed to being open and transparent
We are committed to being open and transparent about what we've heard and our plans for action. We see our work as an ongoing dialogue with our research community.
We have developed a University
Research Culture Index
to monitor research culture change across a basket of values-led measures.
We
seek to collaborate, share good practice and work with others
across the sector to achieve meaningful and lasting improvement. We are keen to share our work piloting a new
Research Culture Maturity Framework
.
External networks
We are building our external research culture networks, including through:
N8 Research Partnership
UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN)
North East Research Culture Managers Network
Russell Group
national funders
Research Culture Leads at UK universities
We're keen to work with both national and international partners.
