UKRI, transformed
The last twelve months have seen enormous change at the UK’s research funder.
UKRI has got four new buckets, ripped up whole budget lines, and endured enormous blowback from research culture to radiotelescopes. As a Burnham government asserts its views on research, UKRI faces an industrial strategy to wrestle with, new ambitions for devolution, and a range of promises and policies on grant processing, AI, and organisational reform to fulfil.
Over 90 minutes, the Research Agenda editorial team will run down everything you need to know about what’s going on at UKRI right now, and hear from special guests and experts from across the research funding and policy landscape to help make sense of it all.
Speakers to be announced soon.
Please note we will observe a two-minute silence for Armistice Day during the event.
