ABOUT DANIELA SCHMIDT

As a professor in Earth Sciences, Daniela studies the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, drawing lessons from the past to better understand future risks and vulnerabilities. Her commitment to collaboration across disciplines and her passion for inclusive research practices make her ideally placed to guide Bristol’s evolving research culture as APVC for Research Environment and Culture. I enjoy working at the interfaces between disciplines, with colleagues in law and human geography, in our interdisciplinary research institutes for health and environmental change, and developing inclusive research cultures with other academics and stakeholders.As Faculty Research Director for the Faculty of Science at the University of Bristol, I have led our REF efforts working with and supporting the UoA leads, founded the Science Partnership office, mentored early career researchers, and worked with colleagues in professional services to reduce the impacts of COVID our our research and researchers. Dissemination of the findings of the report to a wide range of stakeholders, and especially working with groups who are often marginalised in these activities is fundamental to research.
