This Code of Practice has been created by the Researcher Task Group as a tool to aid the implementation of the 'Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers.'

The Researcher Task Group is a group of research staff who meet regularly to advise on the implementation of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers.

A one-day conference provided for postgraduate research students in Science & Technology to gain experience of presenting their research in an environment of peer support. Students are invited to submit an abstract and either give a 10-minute oral presentation or produce a poster on their research project. During the Poster Session on the day, students are divided into groups of 6 to discuss each other’s posters and decide on the winning poster for their group. The presenter of each winning poster is then be invited to give a 5-minute presentation in Darwin Lecture Theatre summarising their poster and an overall winner is decided upon, again by the research students. This event has been running annually since 2004. Prizes are awarded to the best overall oral and poster presentations. There is the Paul Harris Award for Outstanding Science.

4 day programme for new and aspiring PIs

Durham is attempting to provide an intergrated approach to enterprise activities for early stage researchers.

This project aims to identify diversity barriers to recruitment to and successful completion of research degree programmes and produce recomendations as to how programmes can address these issues.

We attempt to combine the best features of a GRAD School and an Enterprisers School to produce a 3-day residential school to develop researchers' enterprise skills.
