NERC's ambitions for positive environmental impact, and for transformations in research culture are deep-rooted in the University of Bristol (UoB). UoB will shortly launch a refreshed strategy and vision, which will include strengthening the reach of our Cabot Institute for the Environment to work in collaboration across disciplines with our other flag-ship Institutes within our research ecosystem, focusing on further cross-cutting challenges such as Jean Golding Institute (JGI; big data) and Elizabeth Blackwell (EBI; health). Of particular note, UoB are developing a strong link between Cabot and EBI to expand our portfolio of Climate and Health research, which also links in to the research strands of the MET Office Academic Partnership, of which UoB is one of the leading partners and has been successful in winning and strengthening in the recent tendering process. This is a particular area of strategic growth for the university and one which would benefit greatly from additional funding to support short projects at traditional discipline boundaries. UoB has a thriving network of Public and Policy Engagement, which regularly work in collaboration with end users (e.g. businesses, policymakers, non-governmental organisations) to understand how their needs could be addressed through interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and discipline hopping approaches in the environmental and climate agenda. Building an inclusive research environment is central to the success of our operations: we want to create a culture where different perspectives co-exist to accelerate innovation and spark creativity, where people can be themselves and do their best work. We actively promote research career opportunities to the broadest range of people, ensuring decisions are fair, transparent and evidence-based, mitigating any potential for bias. All staff are required to undertake Inclusion Essentials training to raise awareness of EDI and active bystander techniques to ensure that we are all equipped to contribute towards a culture of respect, inclusion and belonging. Project teams can access a range of EDI development opportunities, as well as mentoring and resources to support their own career development via Bristol's researcher development programmes. Wellbeing remains a priority for us and we ensure that our working environment is responsive and flexible to the different needs of our people.

NERC 对积极环境影响和研究文化转型的雄心深深植根于布里斯托大学 (UoB)。波士顿大学将很快推出一项更新的战略和愿景，其中包括加强卡博特环境研究所的影响力，与我们研究生态系统内的其他旗舰研究所进行跨学科合作，重点关注进一步的跨领域挑战，例如Jean Golding Institute（JGI；大数据）和 Elizabeth Blackwell（EBI；健康）。特别值得注意的是，伦敦大学正在卡博特和 EBI 之间建立牢固的联系，以扩大我们的气候与健康研究组合，这也与 MET 办公室学术合作伙伴关系的研究领域相联系，伦敦大学是其中的主要合作伙伴之一，并拥有在最近的招标过程中成功中标并增强实力。这是大学战略增长的一个特殊领域，并且将从支持传统学科边界的短期项目的额外资金中受益匪浅。伦敦大学拥有一个蓬勃发展的公共和政策参与网络，该网络定期与最终用户（例如企业、政策制定者、非政府组织）合作，以了解如何通过跨学科、跨学科和跨学科的方法来满足他们的需求环境和气候议程。建立包容性的研究环境是我们运营成功的核心：我们希望创造一种不同观点共存的文化，以加速创新并激发创造力，让人们可以做自己并尽最大努力。我们积极向最广泛的人群推广研究职业机会，确保决策公平、透明且基于证据，减少任何潜在的偏见。所有员工都必须接受包容性基本培训，以提高对 EDI 和积极旁观者技术的认识，以确保我们都有能力为尊重、包容和归属感的文化做出贡献。项目团队可以通过布里斯托尔的研究人员发展计划获得一系列 EDI 发展机会以及支持其自身职业发展的指导和资源。福祉仍然是我们的首要任务，我们确保我们的工作环境能够响应和灵活地满足员工的不同需求。
