Key documents
Research at Westminster is managed and conducted within a framework of policy, regulation and good practice, for which the Research, Enterprise and Knowledge Transfer Committee is responsible. This framework consists of a suite of inter-related documents which should be read in conjunction with each other. Below you will find links to these publications.
Any documents that do not have live links are either currently being revised or awaiting ratification, and these will be published here as soon as possible.
Should you require further information about any of these documents, please contact the appropriate member of the research office in the Academic Services Department, who are responsible for producing and publishing these documents.
