Government must set out ‘clear goals’ for research culture

Wellcome Trust policy adviser says research sector needs to work together to improve the culture

The government must show it is serious about research culture by setting out “clear goals”, a policy expert at the Wellcome Trust has said.

The comments come after science minister Amanda Solloway said that institutions with widespread bullying and harassment problems should not benefit from public funding, ahead of the publication of the government’s People and Culture Strategy.
