In addition to collections research, we collaborate on research projects which investigate best practice in partnerships and engagement, and we support academic research as project partners.
Our research is underpinned by
policies and procedures
which support good practice in research including research ethics and integrity, and we are committed to following the All European Academies European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
