Research Professional Futures (RPF) was delighted to join colleagues at Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd for the Research Administrators Forum, bringing together research professionals from across the institution for a highly engaging and interactive session.

Dr Rika Nair attended, and Dr Katie Reynolds, on behalf of the RPF project, shared insights into the development of the initiative and its progress to date. The session provided a valuable opportunity not only to introduce the aims of RPF, but also to listen directly to the experiences, priorities and challenges shaping research culture across the sector.

A key focus of the session was engagement and dialogue. Participants contributed their perspectives on emerging definitions and messages being developed through the project, helping to test and refine thinking in real time. Discussions highlighted the diversity and complexity of research professional roles, including those that can be more difficult to categorise, such as cross-cutting REF-enabling functions and public and patient involvement professionals.

The event also marked the launch of a new RPF engagement series, 鈥淩PF: Exploring What Matters鈥�. This series is designed to spark meaningful conversations around the issues most important to the research professional community, and to ensure that a wide range of voices inform the future direction of the project.

The team was encouraged by the strong level of participation and the openness with which attendees shared their insights. These contributions are vital in shaping a more inclusive and representative understanding of research professional roles and career pathways.

RPF would like to extend sincere thanks to Vanessa Cuthill (Plain), Tina Woods, Andrew Emery, Ruth, and the Research Administrators Forum leads for their invitation and support in making the session possible.

We look forward to continuing the conversation with Cardiff colleagues and beyond, and to building on this collaboration as the project progresses.
