The conference aims to foster dialogue and build a shared understanding of research culture. To this end, ReBound brings together researchers and stakeholders from research governance and policy communities, all of whom shape research practice and culture. Together, participants will identify actionable steps to advance research culture in selected areas, drawing on examples of both best and worst practice. 

The conference engages with current debates on the challenges facing the scientific community, including pressures on scholarly communication and the need to design and implement sustainable new research assessment models. It also examines increasing constraints on international collaboration and academic freedom, as well as the options available to individual researchers and higher education institutions.

The BCGE will host a workshop on "Responsible Cooperation Cultures" during the conference.
