Valuing Voices for Equitable and Responsible Research

The Valuing Voices Tool made me think differently, especially for an ERC project which is so oriented around the PIs - we thought about the team and put in place some measures to ensure the benefits of the project are likely to be shared more equitably"

Oliver Craig, Deputy Head of Archaeology, and recipient of €10 million European Research Council’s (ERC) Synergy Grant using the Valuing Voices Tool. 

Valuing Voices supports the research community to design and deliver equitable research practice. 

Valuing Voices is addressing hierarchies inherent in research environments.

Our online tool supports you to design and deliver equitable and responsible research projects that place people and society at the forefront. Covering five key principles such as environmental sustainability and strategic risk mapping, the tool prompts reflection by using results-based planning to help you apply them to your research project.

Our goals involve addressing global and team equity through interventions at The University of York and our partner University, Mahidol University in Thailand. 

Take a look at how you can get involved in Valuing Voices' training sessions, trialling interventions or joining us at events.

The Valuing Voices tool sent me down lots of new avenues to think about research in a totally different way"

Andrew Mott, Researcher at The University of York

Five principles for Equitable and Responsible Research

Engagement and impact
Research is credible and has real-world benefits when you engage with those affected by and interested in it.
Team equity and diversity
Diverse research teams generate fresh perspectives on complex problems, address unfair hierarchies and promote global equity.
Strategic risk mapping
Research plans are strengthened by careful risk mapping that makes the most of limited resources.
Environmental sustainability
Environmentally conscious research sets a societal precedent, is cost-effective and safeguards the future of research.
Reflection and learning
Research practices are made effective and robust when they are informed by reflective learning.
