Reorganising Research, launched 2026-06-17 by Laura Ryan (@Lyan82) under sci_works, seeks to identify which organisational models beyond universities Britain needs to lead scientific research. The project opens with a call for evidence in partnership with the Wellcome Trust and a £3,000 essay prize, signalling a multi-stage effort to gather ideas and proposals.
On 2026-06-17 Laura Ryan (@Lyan82) launched 'Reorganising Research', an initiative from @sci_works to map what mix of organisational forms British science needs to lead research.
Britain’s universities are a major asset, but we need more than just the university if we want to lead scientific research.

🚨Today we launch Reorganising Research – a @sci_works initiative to chart what mix of organisational forms British science needs & how to get there.
Lots to come, but we're kicking off with two open calls: a call for evidence with @wellcometrust, & a £3000 essay prize... 🧵
