About the University

Slop University is a research university organised around a single conviction: that what an institution measures, it comes to understand, and what it understands, it can improve. The University pursues that conviction across its schools, its research groups, and its programs, and reports on it openly.

The University is home to the School of Emergent Priorities, which studies how priorities emerge, align, and are sustained across complex settings, and the School of Continuous Improvement, which studies the measurement systems that improve the things they measure. Together they anchor the University’s anticipatory-capability agenda and its work on evaluation ecosystems.

Research produced under the University’s name is published open access and carries a persistent identifier minted by the Office of Research Outputs. The University holds that the value of research is realised only when it is findable, citable, and put to use, and it organises its scholarly communication accordingly. Its research outputs and the performance record that tracks them are available in full on this site.

The University’s researchers work across its schools and groups on a shared programme: to make the institution legible to itself, and to close the loop between what is sensed, what is reported, and what is done.
