- Foundations for the future: supporting the early careers of African researchers Reports
- This paper is a follow-up to The Nairobi Report, published by the British Academy and the Association of Commonwealth Universities in 2009. It offers an analysis of the challenges facing early career researchers in African universities, drawing on the discussions which led to the earlier Nairobi study, subsequent consultations, and on parallel work by other organisations. It identifies the key areas in which further support needs to be provided, and suggests ways in which new collaborative mechanisms might be designed in order to do this. The focus of this and the earlier Nairobi Report is on relationships between Africa and the UK, but much of what we discuss is undoubtedly relevant to research links within the African continent, as well as between Africa and other regions.

- DRUSSA final benchmarking report 2012 Reports
- This summary report of the first DRUSSA Benchmarking Survey (2012) provides initial findings on how research and Research Uptake was handled at institutional level at the beginning of the DRUSSA programme, and identified some of the constraints universities face in getting research findings to end users. As part of the exercise, universities responded to a comprehensive questionnaire covering areas such as institutional priorities, policies for research, staffing for research management and uptake and current research and Research Uptake activities. This is part of the DRUSSA Learning Resource.
