ALT “This year UKRI turns five. To achieve our ambition to create an outstanding research and innovation system where everyone can contribute and benefit, it is important for us to understand how we are perceived by our various communities. "We are undertaking a short quantitative survey to test opinion from across the R&I system, about who we are, what we do and how well we do it. I would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your feedback will help us address issues, tailor our activities and measure our progress as an organisation over the coming years." - Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser
