The Culture of Scientific Research in the UK
What is this about?
The project aimed to gather evidence and promote debate about whether the current culture of scientific research in the UK is successful in this respect. A wealth of information has been gathered during the project from the hundreds of scientists and others who took part. It is the people engaged in scientific research who are in the best position to tell what it is like to be a researcher, whether a post-doctoral researcher on a shortterm contract, or a well-established professor.
Why is this important?
The project highlights that all those involved in the practice of scientific research play a role in shaping its culture, and therefore all should take responsibility for building a culture conducive to high quality, ethical and valuable research.
