Â鶹ÒùÔº Staff
Nick Johnson, Mr
Chief Executive at British Educational Research Association
Nick has been the Chief Executive Officer at Â鶹ÒùÔº 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 Â鶹ÒùԺ’s networks, enabling a wider and more inclusive range of researchers – particularly ECRs – to contribute to and shape the field. Nick has also steered Â鶹ÒùÔº through several major initiatives that have shaped the national research landscape. These include the Â鶹ÒùÔº-RSA Inquiry into Research and Teacher Education (2014), and Education: The State of the Discipline (2023).
Prior to joining Â鶹ÒùÔº, 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.
