Culture shift: a new Research on Research Institute (RoRI) seminar series
Around the world, the good, the bad and the ugly in research cultures are the focus of unprecedented scrutiny and debate. Imperatives of equality, diversity, inclusion, impact, integrity and sustainability are forcing overdue change to institutions, policies and practices. But there is still a long way to go.
Through this new RoRI seminar series, we aim to spotlight some of the most exciting thinkers, practitioners and research system entrepreneurs who are at the forefront of analysing, pioneering and propelling culture shifts across science and research.
Seminars take place on 3rd Thursday every month, (usually afternoon UK/EU / morning US/Canada) and are open to anyone with an interest in the subject.
