Stewarding the Digital Commons

Reimagining: On completing the activities, I will have collaboratively re- imagined rhythms, pace, practices, planning and policies of an inclusive, interdisciplinary research cycle and research culture - I will have forged trusting, authentic, sustainable connections with staff, students and research partners, that values difference in generating and making knowledge culturally relevant, usable and accessible. - I will have developed a collaborative inquiry to inform equitable and inclusive research bids Make valued, recognised contribution to improving D&I - Researchers are energised and motivated to submit bids that research partners feel improve working conditions for diverse researchers and lives of communities and make research culture inclusive - My university, communities, networks are proud of contributions, perceive research as a valuable and researchers as authentic leaders shaping the future of inclusive research internally, in wider academic networks and society. - My university will have a sense of the barriers that prevent inclusive research, an action plan/tools to work with in order to remove barriers, an example of a research cluster that has proved it possible and a culturally relevant race equality chartermark action plan - Potential PhD students, researchers and future partners will recognise our efforts and want to learn from our research cluster.

We will have tools, practices and approaches to onboard them to our inclusive ways of working.

Sharing and extending our influence - Researchers, partners, senior leaders will identify, invest further (time/money) and be positioned to plan, share and embed with peers, centres and networks the ethical principles, road map and practice map through which success was achieved.
