Keith Watkinson, Director of Human Resources, also shares the results of the recent Pulse survey which has provided a more detailed insight into the staff experience in the context of COVID.

Professor Anthony Hollander, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Impact, discusses our new initiative – Research in an Inclusive and Sustainable Environment (RISE) – which aims to better understand the changes to research activity occurring as a result of COVID and to seek views and ideas on how we can build a more inclusive, sustainable and successful research environment. Professor Hollander is joined by Dr Krishanthi Subramaniam, Tenure Track Fellow in Infection Immunology and Co-Chair of the Research Staff Association Network, who shares her own thoughts and perspectives on the impact of COVID and how we may need to change in the future.
