RENU, a place for real research debate

WHO ARE WE?

RENU is a voluntary network of university managers and practitioners who have a role in research, enterprise and innovation. We are currently 29 Universities, but are keen to grow.

We are not a private company; any profit we make goes back to RENU events and activities; we do not lobby. We are run by a voluntary, elected Executive Committee drawn from across our network with support from an administrator.

We come together to explore solutions collectively to help us all to do our jobs better and to enable ourselves to establish excellent practice in our own institutions.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We meet for regular focused events to learn from decision-makers and experts about new Research, Enterprise and Knowledge Exchange challenges and opportunities facing our sector.

If you want to share your experiences with a supportive network of colleagues engaged in similar roles and facing similar challenges, then our events are for you

We share ideas, we capture best practice and we build our working partnerships. We focus on both policy developments (eg the Knowledge Exchange Framework) and operational challenges.

RENU is a nominating body for the REF.
