Research Culture Award

Research Culture encompasses the behaviours, values, expectations, attitudes and norms of our research communities. It influences researchers’ career paths and determines the way that research is conducted and communicated”. Therefore a positive Research Culture underpins excellence in research and conducting research responsibly.

Here in UCC, supported by UCC’s first ever Research Charter, a key Research & Innovation strategic objective from the UCC Securing Our Future Strategic Plan 2023-2028 is to transform UCC’s research culture through the implementation of engaged research and open research, underpinned by academic integrity, and ethical and responsible practice (Goal 1, 1.4).

This award recognises the most outstanding contribution to Research Culture, including Research Ethics, EDI, Open Science, Research Integrity and Evidence of Policy, by a UCC researcher in the year 2025.
