A positive research culture is a priority for University College Dublin (UCD). Since 2021, UCD has been proactively engaged in a Research Culture Initiative, identifying actions to ensure that the way in which we do research in UCD fully reflects UCD’s values, thus ensuring all UCD researchers are supported to achieve research excellence with integrity.
We aim to:
  • enhance the visibility and recognition for all who contribute to research,
  • promote and advance the appreciation of the diversity of research cultures across disciplines, and
  • position UCD as an exemplar of best practice in fostering a culture of excellence, integrity, and respect in research.
This survey was run in 2021 and 2023 and is being rerun in 2025 to measure progress against these aims.

The survey is intended for all those involved in research including faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate research students, technical officers, research-funded staff including research scientists/engineers, research fellows, and research managers / administrators including research project managers.

Participation in this study will involve answering a series of questions about your experience of research culture at University College Dublin. It should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

All responses to this survey will be collected through an anonymous link – we will not be able to identify individual respondents. You will be directed to the survey via a UCD intranet page to verify that you are a member of the UCD community only. Your details will not been recorded.
Thank you for your participation!
