The Talent and Development unit is a central service within the People directorate at the University, focused on interventions to support employee journeys. The University of Dundee has been successful in securing a £1M Institutional Funding for Research Culture (IFRC) award from Wellcome. The IFRC will advance strategies to sustain positive research cultures by underpinning a portfolio of activities that will break barriers, support career transitions, and develop a caring inclusive interdisciplinary community of researchers. It will support the development of listening leaders and has core initiatives to flexibly support the careers of women, BAME, early career researchers and primary caregivers. We will engage 'Hidden' researchers from the many University roles who make key often unrecognised contributions.
