HR Excellence in Research Award

LJMU is recognised for its commitment to supporting the personal, professional and career development of its researchers and was awarded the EU HR Excellence in Research Award in 2012. We have successfully retained the award following sequential biennial review processes since 2014; the award was last successfully conferred in 2021. A key aspect of this award is demonstrating that LJMU embeds the principles of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers (the Researcher Development Concordat).

The University’s Researcher Development Concordat Steering Group oversees and advises on relevant University strategic initiatives relating to researcher support and development. It is Chaired by Dr Hannah Timpson who reports into the University Research and Knowledge Exchange Committee. Members of the Steering Group are drawn from the researcher community, HR, the Doctoral Academy and Research & Innovation Services.
