UKRI is seeking feedback on a new draft research data policy. The policy will update and streamline UKRI’s expectations for sharing and managing research data and other digital objects, such as software and code, arising from UKRI-funded research. It aims to support good research practice and to maximise the value of publicly funded research data for research, innovation and society.

The draft policy and information about its development and how to provide feedback can be found on the UKRI engagement hub: https://engagementhub.ukri.org/ukri-openresearch/developing-ukris-research-data-policy. This page also provides a registration link for an information webinar we will be holding on 7 May 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact researchdatapolicy@ukri.org.
