We are committed to nurturing a pipeline of research talent and to creating a culture that enables all our researchers to achieve their research ambitions.

Thriving Research Culture

“Our supportive environment nurtures colleagues at all levels, including postgraduate research students. Equality, diversity, and inclusivity are core values embedded in everything we do.”

Professor Martin Steggall, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation)

  • We proudly hold the European Commission HR Excellence in Research Award

  • We are a signatory to the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers

Our researchers benefit from the USW Research and Innovation Development Programme, which enables them to develop project management techniques, learn how to communicate their research and gives them the skills to connect with business and industry.  

We have a number of networks to facilitate supportive relationships between academics, and celebrate the achievements of our research community with the Research Impact and Innovation Awards.
