Our CEO, Professor Sir Ian Chapman, reflects on what delivering our mission - to advance knowledge, improve lives and drive growth - really means.

We’re bringing the research and innovation community and UKRI colleagues together for a series of conversations. This includes regional engagement events led by our Executive Chairs, a Town Hall webinar for the R&I community and an internal event for all UKRI staff. Collectively, they represent our commitment to open, honest dialogue as we shape UKRI's future.
