How are researchers using the Researcher Development Framework?

Researcher Development Framework researcher profiles provide examples of researchers in different disciplines and at different stages of their careers who have used the RDF. The profiles include their reflections on their current development activities and identifies areas they wish to develop.

What do researchers say about the Researcher Development Framework (RDF)?

‘It was very good for me to reflect.   I realised that nothing is stopping me but myself.  The sky is the limit.'

‘I've always thought of myself as being quite ambitious, driven and focussed on what I want, but the framework made me realise I can have a much larger vision.'

‘The RDF will encourage me to be more proactive about my career development as it provides me with a framework (list of milestones).'

‘It put career development back into the forefront of my mind as it can often slip back when you're engaged in what you're doing day to day.'
