Although academic research is an exciting endeavour we are witnessing a growing discontent with the culture within academia, with recent findings (e.g.https://wellcome.org/reports/what-researchers-think-about-research-culture) showing high levels of stress, mental health problems, discrimination, bullying, work pressure and harassment among researchers.

University of Surrey is organising a series of talks from 16-20 November during the Research Culture Week with experts who will address some of the above issues to help improve our research culture in a holistic fashion. There will be two talks per day with outstanding speakers including Angela Saini, Gelong Thubten and Jim Al-Khalili. Find out more on our webpage:
