The Culture, Employment and Development in Academic Research Survey (CEDARS)* is now open – and research staff are invited to share their experiences of the research environment that they work in.
The survey will provide valuable information on how we can create a healthy and supportive research culture to ensure our researchers can thrive at the University.
As well as important topics such as researchers’ experiences of their local research environment and working conditions, the associated responsibilities of managers of researchers will also be explored. The results of the survey will help to establish a baseline for the UK research system, informing future work to achieve the Principles of the Researcher Development Concordat.
Who should participate?
We want to hear from staff of all career levels who are active researchers, including teaching staff engaged in research and those staff who have formal research staff management/ research supervision responsibilities. Staff can access the survey here: https://liverpool.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/cedars20
CEDARS opens today and will run until Friday, 22 May.
The deadline for responses is 23:59 on Friday, 22 May.

The Academy and the Research and Impact Strategy Team are pleased to announce that each completed survey will equal a £1 donation to the Liv to Give charities for 2020. The total amount will bedivided equally between the charities.
