The NRO Group formed to address fragmentation across the UK research landscape and unlock the full potential of national research organisations (NROs). This will involve clearer governance, strategic alignment, and better visibility of these unique capabilities.
By creating an authoritative, collegiate voice and a trusted interface, the NRO Group ensures science-based insight informs decisions and connects major national priorities to improve people’s lives, boost growth, and ensure security and resilience – while driving progress toward net zero and UK environmental goals.
Prof Neil Hall, Director of Earlham Institute said:
The launch of the National Research Organisations Group is an extremely important moment for UK academic research. As a government funded research organisation, the Earlham Institute exists to deliver economic and social impact for the UK. The NRO Group will work with us, and other publicly funded research organisations, to ensure we are all delivering maximum benefits.
