Episode Synopsis

In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? This episode is part of Season 5, where we are investigating the impact of impact on research culture. In this episode your host, Ged Hall, is joined by Professor Mark Birkin and Dr Emily Ennis.Mark is the Director of the Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) and was Director of the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) from 2014 until December 2022. Emily is the Research and Impact Manager for CDRC. LIDA and CDRC were extremely successful in the University of Leeds inaugural Research Culture Awards and Engaged for Impact Awards in 2022. In the Research Culture Awards, LIDA won in two of the five categories and in the Engaged for Impact Awards, CDRC won three of the five categories and were runner-up in a fourth category. All the awards winners and runners-up were celebrated via the University's staff-facing website and social media channels over the summer of 2022. I ask Emily and Mark about the leadership of research culture in LIDA and CDRC and why it enables these types of successes. They describe the recognition of expertise across the staff in the Institute and Centre, whoever holds it and no matter what their role is. a mutually supportive environment that celebrates success and collaboratively solves problemsempowerment of staff to lead and develop areas where the expertise and interests liea clear vision that staff buy into driven by their values and interestsYou can follow LIDA on Twitter and LinkedInYou can follow CDRC on Twitter and LinkedInBe sure to check out the other episodes in this season to find out more about how to ensure impact has a positive effect on your research culture.Links:Researcher Development and Culture WebsiteOur Concordat Implemention plans and progressUniversity of Leeds Research Culture StatementUniversity of Leeds Responsible Metrics StatementUniversity of Leeds Open Research StatementFollow us on twitter: @ResDevLeeds, @OpenResLeeds,
