❓And if you're wondering what InFrame and the Culture Catalyst Fund are: here's a poster I created for Edinburgh's Research Support Services Conference that explains a little about this collaboration with the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews.
Introducing InFrame Poster Text reads: An inclusive framework for research leadership: testing a new model for creating culture change The universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews have been awarded £3M from Wellcome to create a new framework for inclusive research leadership – InFrame. Our collaboration aims to understand how collegiality can be fostered, recognised and rewarded, as well as expanding the definition of who is viewed as a research leader . The InFrame project started in September 2024, led at Edinburgh by Prof. Christina Boswell and Dr Sara Shinton. Meet the Edinburgh Team: - Ros Attenborough, Evaluation Manager - Lisa Backwell, Community Knowledge Analyst - Francesca Pagni, Leadership Developer - Theoni Massaara, Project Coordinator - Andrew Unwin, Community Knowledge Manager - Sara Shinton, Institutional Lead InFrame has three work packages: 1. Collegial Research Leadership Framework: we will develop a toolkit that applies across all roles and job families. 2. Culture Catalyst Fund: funding to support new ideas from anyone seeking to make change in research cultures, testing and developing the co-created framework. 3. Community Knowledge Hub: bespoke pre- and post- award support and critical cross-linking of funded projects. Changing Research Cultures at the University of Edinburgh: InFrame will support and mainstream initiatives towards a positive research culture, which in turn supports our capacity to deliver world-leading research. Our approach 1. Building evidence to inform decision-making 2. Embedding sustainable change, overcoming barriers 3. Building trust that the culture work is responding to the people who experience our cultures Get in touch If you are interested in developing a research culture project or have a query you would like to get support from, we'd be happy to hear from you.
