Britse funders: "Exploring a shared approach towards a narrative CV"

Belangrijke Britse financiers hebben samen een statement uitgebracht waarin zij aangeven samen te werken aan de implementatie van narratieve CV's, naar model van het R4R CV van de Royal Society.

Het statement leest: "We believe sustained excellence in research and innovation requires a range of contributions and recognition of those activities. Enabling the diverse R&D workforce to demonstrate who they are as individuals, and how they contribute to teams and the wider research and innovation endeavour, beyond grant and publication record, will transform who and what activities are valued. The R4R approach will help us ensure we are attracting and retaining the full range of the most promising research and innovation talent.

In addition, it will also help us to achieve the ambitions of the R&D Roadmap, Innovation Strategy, and R&D People and Culture Strategy, and more broadly, bring us into greater alignment with national and international commitments in this space. Working together will help us to deliver on UK Government ambitions of reducing bureaucracy by taking a cohesive approach across multiple funders.

We believe in the transformative power of collective effort and invite organisations across all sectors and countries, to join us in this ambitious endeavour."
