The James Hutton Institute is one of more than 91 universities and research institutions from across the UK who have pledged to support their technicians. The Technician Commitment is a sector-wide initiative led by the Science Council [4] and supported by the Gatsby Foundation [5] to help address key challenges facing technical staff working in research.
The commitment was launched in 2017 and four target areas have been identified, which universities and institutions will work to improve to safeguard vital technical skills. The commitment ensures greater visibility, recognition, career development and sustainability for technicians across all disciplines.
The commitment is essential as the demand for technicians increases with more than 1.5 million technicians currently work in the UK, which is expected to rise by around 70,000 each year. Vice-chancellors and directors of research institutes from leading institutions across the UK have recognised the need to ensure sustainability by safeguarding technical skills across their organisations by utilising and developing expertise. www.technicians.org.uk/technician-commitment [6].
