Higher education and research policy
Our higher education and research policy work supports the higher education sector in several ways, from helping to identify the funding needs of higher education institutions to understanding how best to support greater equality, diversity and inclusion in higher education. We identify and discuss changes in the research environment, culture, practices and policies from the perspective of researchers in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. In particular, we are committed to the development of the next generation of talent, and to promoting the value of interdisciplinary research.
