HI-ACT Guiding Principles

HI-ACT is a complex project being delivered by researchers of different disciplines from multiple universities, across national geographies and with a huge variety of academic, industry and policy making stakeholders.

HI-ACT Guiding Principles provide a common understanding of HI-ACT culture and ways of working. The Principles shape and guide all activities underpinning HI-ACT’s mission, vision and ambition set out in our original Hub proposal to EPSRC.

The HI-ACT project (Hub) has four Guiding Principles:

1. Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)
2. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)

3. Knowledge Co-Production (KCP)
4. Efficiency and Effectiveness (EE)

The four principles play three key roles within HI-ACT:

1. Act as a common thread running through and stitching together different parts of the project.
2. Inform, shape and guide all HI-ACT activities.
3. Ensure we continue to think of new, improved ways to deliver HI-ACT’s mission.

The attached HI-ACT Guiding Principles document has been developed to help those working on the HI-ACT project to incorporate these principles into HI-ACT-activities.
