Concordat Action Plan 2025-2028

About the latest institutional action plan, to support the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers.

Concordat Action Plan 2025-2028

The Concordat is an agreement between stakeholders to support the Career development of research staff.  The University of Edinburgh has been a signatory to the Concordat since 2020. 

The Researcher Development team at the IAD is proud to have led on developing the 2025-2028 institutional Concordat action plan, working closely and collaboratively with colleagues from across the University, alongside plans for the 2026-2029 Research Culture Action Plan. The action plan includes new actions and actions that build on projects and initiatives developed over the last few years.
