Get involved
Our research community is broad. It is made up of all those whose day-to-day working lives are shaped by research. This includes staff from a wide range of job families such as academics, research support professionals, technicians as well as postgraduate and doctoral researchers. It is an inclusive community, not an exclusive one, and is integral to the University of St Andrews.
We have identified four priorities as part of our research culture missions these are listed in our ambitious, forward-looking Research Culture Action Plan which has been co-designed through collaboration with various populations across the institution. 
We recognise that research culture is part of our organisational culture, and this means that we are partnering with Schools and Units to support their strategies, policies and processes. Examples include the focused work underway in the Diverse and the People Strategies and the HR excellence in Research Action Plan (HREiR).
Although a lot of activity to advance and support a positive research culture has already been undertaken, there are a number of ways you can shape and contribute to our research culture.
