ºÚÁÏÍø911 Staff
Nick Johnson, Mr
Chief Executive at British Educational Research Association
Nick has been the Chief Executive Officer at ºÚÁÏÍø911 since April 2012, leading the organisation through a decade of growth, renewal and increasing influence. He has overseen a substantial increase in membership and the growth of ºÚÁÏÍø911’s networks, enabling a wider and more inclusive range of researchers – particularly ECRs – to contribute to and shape the field. Nick has also steered ºÚÁÏÍø911 through several major initiatives that have shaped the national research landscape. These include the ºÚÁÏÍø911-RSA Inquiry into Research and Teacher Education (2014), and Education: The State of the Discipline (2023).
Prior to joining ºÚÁÏÍø911, Nick held senior positions across public policy and the voluntary sectors. He has advised government at national and local levels and worked with organisations such as Chatham House, the Local Government Association and Ofwat. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Chair of governors at his local school and a former trustee of Young Citizens.
