Our project to redevelop departmental research pages is underway. We’re redesigning, restructuring and rewriting key web pages to highlight our departments’ research strengths and showcase examples of York research making a difference all over the world.
One of our major programmes of work currently ongoing is designed to support the University’s research activity. We call this work the ‘Research Digital Developments Roadmap’ and it aims to improve the digital presence of all staff, centres, groups and departments involved in research.
There are six key projects covered by our roadmap – each one is based on activity that will deliver university-wide benefits, ensuring academics across the campus gain from our work.
