Contribution to research culture

A Positive research culture means creating an environment that inspires our Researchers to be the best, where staff and student talent is nurtured. It means creating a culture within the University that supports research and encourages researchers to thrive.

As part of a positive research culture, it is important that staff are happy in their roles and that the University of Liverpool is the kind of place that Researchers want to work.

Please note that some resources are temporarily unavailable while we work on updating the Roadmap. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
