Cultures of Collaborative Research in a Socially Progressive Technological University

How can we work with partners in industry and the public and third sector to co-produce inclusive research cultures? How do we value and recognise the breadth and depth of everyday contributions which sustain thriving collaborative research cultures? This project focuses on aspects of access, reward, and recognition in collaborative research environments. By recognising that research cultures are not the sole domain of universities, our approach will provide a distinct and innovative background for investigating pathways to a more collaborative, connected, and sustainable research communities. Our key goals include: - Delivering interventions to test levers that enable inclusive cultures of collaboration in cross-sector research environments. - Developing sector data and guidance related to benchmarking positive cultures of collaboration. - Producing sector-facing resources that address how we can reward and recognise the ‘invisible’ labour required to produce highly innovative and collaborative research cultures. This project will be based at the University of Strathclyde, a leading socially-progressive technological university. We will draw on our extensive network of Strategic Partners (covering industry, the public and third sector, and a global network of universities) to create new knowledge, resources, and opportunities for the research community at Strathclyde, as well as the broader HE sector.
