Our research environment

The Open University is creating a research environment where our research and researchers can thrive.

Our vision for our research and environment for research is underpinned by our mission to be open to people, places, methods and ideas, with our current priorities set out in our Research and Knowledge Exchange Plans.

Alongside these plans, our frameworks for research governance, integrity and ethics, and the support we provide for our researchers, create an inclusive, safe and supportive environment for research where excellent and impactful research can flourish, and researchers’ careers succeed.
