91精品黑料吃瓜 has signed up to the UK Concordat 2019 which is an agreement between funders and employers of research staff to improve the employment and support for researchers. It sets out clear standards that research staff can expect from the institution that employs them, as well as their responsibilities as researchers.

Read the VC’s letter of commitment to the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers

The Concordat has three principles, which are:

1. Environment and culture
	Excellent research requires a supportive and inclusive research culture.
2. Employment
	Researchers are recruited, employed and managed under conditions that recognise and value their contributions.
3. Professional and career development
	Professional and career development are integral to enabling researchers to develop their full potential. We seek the views and ideas of our ECRs through the Research Development and Research Concordat Group which has representation from each College. We also regularly engage with researchers at all levels through surveys and consultation so that we are aware of researchers’ views across the University. Through the consultation with researchers we have developed a broad range of development opportunities to ensure that researchers at Bangor have the skills and knowledge to be successful researchers. On an institutional level we are committed to supporting the wellbeing of staff and promoting an inclusive workplace for all our staff which we regard as key to ensuring staff engagement and a positive working environment.
