Stakeholder Engagement Group

Funders, publishers, learned societies and other external stakeholders supporting the UKRN

The Stakeholder Engagement Group

External Stakeholders who support and work closely with the UKRN, form the Stakeholder Engagement Group and ensure that UKRN activity is aligned with the strategy and activity of the stakeholders.  All members are required to agree to our mission and values.

Our structure allows for two types of Stakeholder Engagement Group membership: full membership for organisations that are part of the academic environment, to provide direct financial support or support in kind for UKRN, and affiliate membership, for organisations that are part of the wider research environment, who only provide support in kind.

The UKRN Supervisory Board determines whether a potential External Stakeholder should be a full or affiliate member of the Stakeholder Engagement Group. We only accept financial support from full stakeholders.

Group Chair: Helen Clare

Helen Clare has been involved in several major UK national training programmes including:

  • support for implementing e-learning in universities, colleges, schools, adult and community learning settings and public libraries;
  • a plagiarism awareness programme in schools, colleges and universities;
  • a programme of work exploring skills and competencies for knowledge exchange in universities.

She has over 20 years’ experience working in training and staff development in the education sector, and a background in libraries, with a keen interest in all aspects of information and digital literacy, and in supporting staff and students in their development.
