Concordat on Openness Annual Report 2020 
Professor Jeremy Pearson, Chair of UAR’s Council, welcomed the publication of the 6th Annual Concordat on Openness Report. This May we celebrated six years since the launch of the Concordat, and the publication of this year’s report shows that the majority of signatories continue to engage proactively with the media and general public. Engagement with schools and local communities remains high, and there continues to be opportunities for journalists, members of the public, and non-research staff to step inside animal facilities.
