NERC's ambitions for positive environmental impact, and for transformations in research culture are deep-rooted in the University of Bristol (UoB). UoB will shortly launch a refreshed strategy and vision, which will include strengthening the reach of our Cabot Institute for the Environment to work in collaboration across disciplines with our other flag-ship Institutes within our research ecosystem, focusing on further cross-cutting challenges such as Jean Golding Institute (JGI; big data) and Elizabeth Blackwell (EBI; health). Of particular note, UoB are developing a strong link between Cabot and EBI to expand our portfolio of Climate and Health research, which also links in to the research strands of the MET Office Academic Partnership, of which UoB is one of the leading partners and has been successful in winning and strengthening in the recent tendering process. This is a particular area of strategic growth for the university and one which would benefit greatly from additional funding to support short projects at traditional discipline boundaries. UoB has a thriving network of Public and Policy Engagement, which regularly work in collaboration with end users (e.g. businesses, policymakers, non-governmental organisations) to understand how their needs could be addressed through interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and discipline hopping approaches in the environmental and climate agenda. Building an inclusive research environment is central to the success of our operations: we want to create a culture where different perspectives co-exist to accelerate innovation and spark creativity, where people can be themselves and do their best work. We actively promote research career opportunities to the broadest range of people, ensuring decisions are fair, transparent and evidence-based, mitigating any potential for bias. All staff are required to undertake Inclusion Essentials training to raise awareness of EDI and active bystander techniques to ensure that we are all equipped to contribute towards a culture of respect, inclusion and belonging. Project teams can access a range of EDI development opportunities, as well as mentoring and resources to support their own career development via Bristol's researcher development programmes. Wellbeing remains a priority for us and we ensure that our working environment is responsive and flexible to the different needs of our people.

NERC对积极的环境影响和研究文化转型的雄心在布里斯托大学（UoB）根深蒂固。UoB将很快推出一个更新的战略和愿景，其中将包括加强我们的卡伯特环境研究所的影响力，与我们的研究生态系统中的其他旗舰研究所跨学科合作，专注于进一步的跨领域挑战，如Jean Golding研究所（JGI;大数据）和Elizabeth Blackwell（EBI;健康）。特别值得注意的是，UoB正在Cabot和EBI之间建立密切的联系，以扩大我们的气候和健康研究组合，这也与MET办公室学术合作伙伴关系的研究链相联系，其中UoB是主要合作伙伴之一，并在最近的招标过程中成功地赢得和加强。这是大学战略增长的一个特殊领域，也是一个将从额外资金中受益匪浅的领域，以支持传统学科边界的短期项目。UoB拥有一个蓬勃发展的公共和政策参与网络，该网络定期与最终用户（例如企业，政策制定者，非政府组织）合作，以了解如何通过环境和气候议程中的跨学科，跨学科和跨学科方法来满足他们的需求。建立一个包容性的研究环境是我们业务成功的核心：我们希望创造一种文化，不同的观点共存，以加速创新和激发创造力，人们可以做自己，做最好的工作。我们积极向最广泛的人群推广研究职业机会，确保决策公平，透明和基于证据，减少任何偏见的可能性。所有员工都必须接受包容性基本培训，以提高对EDI和积极旁观者技术的认识，以确保我们都有能力为尊重，包容和归属的文化做出贡献。项目团队可以通过布里斯托的研究人员发展计划获得一系列EDI发展机会，以及指导和资源，以支持他们自己的职业发展。福利仍然是我们的优先事项，我们确保我们的工作环境能够灵活应对员工的不同需求。
