Research Culture Working Group

The Research Culture Working Group (RCWG) is a subgroup of the University’s Culture & Community Steering Group, which is tasked with providing overarching strategic leadership for ensuring a collaborative, supportive and inclusive institutional culture at York. 

The RCWG provides direction and oversight for activities related to research culture, including the creation, implementation and monitoring of a new University of York Research Culture Action Plan.

The Research Culture Working Group is made up of staff and students from across the University, including the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research), Dean of the York Graduate Research School, and the Researcher Development and Culture Manager, in addition to a variety of representatives including academics, professional support staff, technicians and Postgraduate Researchers.

Other members of the research community - including those with expertise in knowledge exchange, research development, research integrity, and communications and external relations - will be included in RCWG meetings as required.
