Visit our websiteSome of us have been with the organisation for many years and it’s important that we’re able to transfer that wealth of knowledge to our future workforce generation. Apprenticeships present the perfect channel for this and, as such, are an integral part of our succession planning. The fresh injection of talent, energy and different perspectives that an apprentice brings has had a positive impact in so many ways
Our vision is for an outstanding research and innovation system in the UK that gives everyone the opportunity to contribute and to benefit, enriching lives locally, nationally and internationally. Our mission is to convene, catalyse and invest in close collaboration with others to build a thriving, inclusive research and innovation system that connects discovery to prosperity and public good.
Our Values, Collaboration Excellence Innovation Integrity At the heart of world-leading research and innovation is our people. UKRI people have vision, passion, and pride, and are prepared to collaborate freely with each other to change the world for the better. Research and innovation should be for everyone, by everyone. By valuing all, we recognise that the diversity and inclusion of ideas, opinions, knowledge and people enrich our work and enlarges our knowledge economy.
