“We have the opportunity to shift incentives and value a wider range of contributions and diversity in the system”

At #VitaeCon2020 this week @UKRI_CEO Ottoline Leyser talked about how we support a creative and vibrant research and innovation system.
Research produces many different types of output and we want to celebrate them. Watch our channels for some amazing examples over the coming weeks – and we’d love to hear about yours.
“Let’s seize this opportunity, this moment of renewal, to unleash the creativity of all of us, to improve research culture – to make it more diverse, more imaginative and more impactful” @ASollowayUK at #VitaeCon2020

@AddyAdelaine @NIHRcommunity We have published the membership of the decision making panels for the COVID-19 ethnicity call here: mrc.ukri.org/documents/pdf/…. We actively sought diversity in the panel members, and we are conscious that Black people are underrepresented throughout academia in the UK. 1/12
