Brunel's Open Research Working Group (ORWG) was established in 2020 to bring together members from across the University to help our staff and students embed open research principles and practice within their work. Our aim is to foster a culture of openness and transparency in scholarly research, while upholding the highest standards of research integrity.  

The Open Research Working Group aims to: 

• provide guidance and training on open research for all disciplines and career stages 

• promote recognition of open research practices and advocacy

• share best practices and innovations in open research 

• promote adoption and adherence to  principles across Brunel 

We currently have over forty members, made up of academic and professional services staff from across the University. Brunel is also a Local Network member of the  recognising Brunel's commitment to promoting Open Research. Dr Emma Norris, Division of Global Public Health is the Local Network Lead for Brunel’s Open Research Working Group. 

 A summary of activities led by Brunel’s Open Research Working Group and our open research champions is listed below. 

Open Research Champions

Our Open Research Champions provide department-specific training and one-to-one support on how to engage with open research practices.
