Concordat Best Practice - submission page

The University of Edinburgh’s Concordat action plan ensures a broad level of institutional engagement.  We see it as a driver for change internally, a process to highlight the University commitment and progress with the Concordat and a way to support College/School and Professional Services initiatives related to Research Staff support.  Reporting on progress requires a collective effort, ensuring we are capturing what is happening at local levels.  However, we also want to ensure that work is celebrated, innovative and creative projects captured, and practice sharing possible. 

Concordat Best Practice web page

The aim of the Concordat Best Practice web page is to allow colleagues to provide examples of projects / initiatives from their area related to the Concordat, highlighting the support in place for research staff across the University. 

We see collegiality as a key aspect of the Concordat at Edinburgh, supporting colleagues who have a shared responsibility and interest in ongoing support of research staff careers. 

The web page will allow us as an institution to communicate and promote the work that we do.  To practice share, inspire, support and encourage the re-use of initiatives and activities, and develop an online space for University of Edinburgh staff involved in the Concordat to view.  We welcome contributions from researchers, managers of researchers and any member of staff who supports researchers as part of their role.
