The November 2025 forum was held at Durham University.

The meeting was hosted by the Chair of CCP-AHC, Dr Eamonn Bell, and had an agenda designed to explore some wide-reaching DRI topics particularly relevant for communities such as identifying impact and related metrics beyond traditional research outputs and inclusivity as a driver for better research communities. Alongside these important topics, the future of the UKRI research community model was a key topic, with this meeting timed at the point just ahead of the next phases for both the CCPs and HECs.

A poster session was included on the agenda for this Forum to allow our communities the opportunity to present an update on their current work, and also to provide a networking opportunity across the lunch break.

Here are copies of the posters that were on display:
