RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd
The UK’s Research Councils working together
Successful organisations invest their resources in what they do best. By setting up a shared services centre, the UK’s seven Research Councils, working together as Research Councils UK (RCUK), are reducing spend on administration. Sharing and standardising processes simply frees more funds for keeping the UK at the forefront of research and innovation.
Each year the Research Councils invest around £2.8 billion in research into understanding and improving the world around us. They're involved in everything from tackling superbugs or studying social trends to analysing the geo-climate of the Antarctic. So, operating efficiently benefits our whole society.
What is more, sharing services does not mean compromising quality. The RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd (SSC) is dedicated to providing exceptional standards of service in Human Resources, Finance, Procurement, IT IS and Grants administration. Our people achieve this by sharing their skills, knowledge and our vision:
‘Professional people working together, delivering quality services for the benefit of the research community’
