UKRN 2026-27 Annual Delivery Plan
Today, the UKRN publishes the 2026-2027 Annual Delivery Plan (ADP).
This Annual Delivery Plan covers the period April 2026 to March 2027 and articulates how we intend to deliver the six core objectives set out in the UKRN Strategy 2024-27.
The six core objectives are as follows:
- Promoting collaboration
- Supporting the Net Zero transition
- Addressing vulnerability
- Supporting sustainable economic growth and resilience
- Championing effective regulation and telling our story
- Making regulation an attractive career choice
In this Plan, we set out the activities that deliver the intended outcomes for each of our strategic objectives. These activities include a combination of network meetings, stakeholder engagement, formal events and project work. We also provide an indication of the topics we plan to explore and the stakeholders we will engage and consult with, on those areas of work. The Plan is, however, a forward look, therefore the activities included are not exhaustive, leaving room for us to pivot and respond to our members’ needs and changing government priorities.
This year’s update is light touch, having already carried out a substantive review last year.
The UKRN would like to thank our members and external stakeholders for their continued support.
