The original Researcher Development Concordat was published in 2008 and was revised in September 20191. It sets out three clear principles of environment and culture, employment, and professional and career development.

Funder Action PlanConcordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers • May 15th, 2024
The Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers (‘the Concordat’) is an agreement between four key stakeholder groups (funders, institutions, researchers, and managers of researchers) aimed at improving support for researchers and research careers in higher education in the UK. The Concordat sets out a number of obligations, for each of the four stakeholder groups, which must be upheld in order for its aims to be realised. The Dunhill Medical Trust became a signatory of the Concordat on 11th March 2020, and as such is committed to upholding those responsibilities targeted at the Funder stakeholder group. One such responsibility, for all signatories, is to publish an action plan within 12 months of signing up to the Concordat.
