Our sector makes an incredible difference to the world, but it's shrouded in unhelpful traditions, outdated measures of impact and barriers to participation.That's why since we launched our Real Impact Manifesto in 2018, we've been calling out problems in the sector and changing how we work. We're seeing green shoots of progress, but significant change will require the entire sector to commit and act. So, here in 2022, we're relaunching our Real Impact Manifesto and asking you to join us in working towards a fairer, more equitable environment where research can have a real-world impact and those within it can reach their full potential.
