Following the success of last year's masterclass series, in 2010 Vitae is offering a programme of five masterclasses focusing on specific areas of training and development within the higher education environment. These classes are aimed at staff supporting researchers who are looking to innovate and develop their training provision.
Each masterclass will be led by an expert in the particular topic area and who has experience within the higher education environment. The classes will cover the following topics:
- Training needs analysis and PDP (Friday 30 April, Manchester) led by Professor Pam Denicolo and Paul Toombs
- Creativity (Thursday 13 May, Birmingham) led by Dr Kevin Byron - author of the recent ‘Creative researcher' booklet for Vitae
- Neuro linguistic programming (NLP) in researcher development programmes (Thursday 29 July, London) led by Dr Caron King
- Demonstrating impact: evaluation (Tuesday 21 September, London) led by Dr Tony Bromley and Paul Kearns
- Coaching and mentoring (Tuesday 19 October, Newcastle) led by Dr Jeremy Mead, an additional speaker tbc.
More information on the masterclasses will be available soon here on the Vitae website. Places are limited to 15 participants on each course, so please book as soon as possible to secure a place!
