ThemesResearch culture survey (University of Glasgow)
What is this about?
The University of Glasgow yearly runs a Research Culture Survey in order to understand what the perspective on the research culture is from the ones doing the actual research. Which problems, dilemma’s or difficulties are felt on the ground, what progressed and were is still work to be done? All research staff is invited to respond, anonymously, and the survey contains open and closed questions and is anonymous. The results are used to inform future policy, and it’s practical implementation, as well as training.
Why is this important?
When an institution wants to promote a positive research culture, it’s important to know how the researchers working in it, actually experience this culture: this group can give the inside-information needed to improve, strengthen or change the current situation. Moreover, by involving researchers to speak out, the institution shows the importance of shared responsibility regarding the research culture thereby stimulation the commitment foster this on an individual as well as institutional level.
