HR Excellence in Research Award
University of Exeter - HR Excellence in Research
Until now, every two years the University has conducted an internal review to assess the performance of the University in meeting its obligations under the Researcher Concordat and to gauge progress against actions arising from the previous evaluation. The outcomes of this are a report and 2 year action plan that is submitted to the HR Excellence in Research Award panel. The original strategy called the Concordat Implementation Plan (CIP) was produced in 2009.
From 2023, these reviews will be conducted on a three year cycle, so our current action plan is for the period 2023-2026.
