Staff networks
Information on our staff networks at the University of Plymouth

“It’s great to be part of a community where our voices matter and that the University listens to and values our opinions. The University would be such a different place if it didn’t have its networks and I am so grateful they are supported the way they are.”
The University of Plymouth also runs a Researcher Forum. The Researcher Forum allows research staff, academics and staff supporting researchers the valuable opportunity to join discussions, hear developments, share practice, connect and be consulted on important issues for researchers. Topics for discussion/information can be directed by researchers and will include, for example: professional development, representation and working within a research environment.
Staff Networks Guidance
Staff networks at the University of Plymouth form a core part of our commitment to promote an inclusive environment and diverse community, and are referenced as actions within our Equality Strategy, Wellbeing Strategy and Athena Swan action plans.
The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Team has worked with trade unions and staff networks to create guidance on working time allowances for involvement within staff networks as well as information on how this can contribute to your PDR.
