Our research and innovation culture
‘Research culture encompasses the behaviours, values, expectations, attitudes and norms of our research communities. It influences researchers’ career paths and determines the way that research is conducted and communicated.’ The Royal Society.
Always working to the highest standards, we deliver research and innovation with real world impact, within a dynamic, expansive and collaborative culture. We aim to be bold and ambitious, working in creative ways and using exceptional resources – from our technical facilities to our excellent academic staff – to find answers to the most-pressing global challenges.
Working in collaboration with our partners and stakeholders, inside and outside of academia, we are constantly seeking opportunities, creating and testing new ideas, and exploring alternative applications for our discoveries.
