UKRN 2025-2026 Annual Delivery Plan

Today, the UKRN publishes the 2025-2026 Annual Delivery Plan (ADP).

This Annual Delivery Plan covers the period April 2025 to March 2026 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:

  1. Promoting collaboration
  2. Supporting the Net Zero transition
  3. Addressing vulnerability
  4. Supporting sustainable economic growth and resilience
  5. Championing effective regulation and telling our story
  6. Making regulation an attractive career choice

The Annual Delivery Plan is a forward look, therefore the activities set out are not exhaustive of what we expect we will do in the upcoming year. Inevitably, shifts in the geopolitical, macroeconomic and governmental landscape means that the UKRN will need to prioritise action to respond to extraordinary requirements or requests for targeted and topic-driven engagement. As an organisation, we retain the agility and flexibility to adapt to the needs and priorities of our members.

The UKRN would like to thank our members and external stakeholders for their continued support.
