What to expect from Worktribe in 2025
The Transforming Research Support Programme has shared the four key things you can expect from Worktribe in 2025. These include the launch of the post-award module (targeting July 2025 for all schools and institutions, timings to be confirmed with schools/institutions), a system upgrade, some continuous improvements based on user feedback and plans for the next phase of the programme.
1.7k staff and academics are now using the pre-award grants and contracts modules of Worktribe. Staff and academics are starting to experience benefits like easier communication and greater transparency. The programme encourages users to give feedback which builds into plans for continuous improvements.
