Organisation and membership

Institutions can join the UKRN by formally committing to supporting the aims of the Network, creating a formal role within the senior management team (an Academic Lead for Research Improvement or similar), and supporting the delivery of UKRN activities (training, workshops etc.) within the institution (e.g. via undergraduate, postgraduate, postdoctoral and senior training programmes). This Institutional Lead is independent of the Local Network Lead.

Group chair: Tom Stafford

Professor of Cognitive Science, Tom Stafford is Research Practice Lead for the University of Sheffield. This role involves the responsibility of promoting open, transparent, robust and reproducible research at the University.

Tom is also convenor of the UKRN Academy, a forum for doctoral students working on reproducibility and metascience projects, and Sheffield MetaNet, a forum to support networking, exchange and collaboration between University of Sheffield researchers and professional staff involved in, or supportive of, metascience and research on research.
