Connections: Getting to Grips is a programme for those who have recently taken on responsibility for supporting researchers in their professional development, whether as a full-time role or as a part-time activity. This year the programme will be delivered over three mornings in May 2024.

Join us for the following thematic sessions aimed at helping all those with a stake in researcher development to embed the Researcher Development Concordat principles into institutional practice.

The volume of resources, guidance and support for researchers looking to make the transition to other sectors has proliferated in recent years. This webinar will bring together speakers from across this landscape of support to share their experiences of supporting the transition of researchers into careers beyond academia.

We invite members to join us at this online workshop to share their perspectives and views on the ongoing project to evolve the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF).

Following Vitae’s much anticipated latest edition in the 'What do researcher’s do?' series, this member event will unpack the findings and extract the trends from ‘What do researcher’s do?’ Doctoral graduate employment, activities and earnings.

We look forward to welcoming you to Vitae’s annual conference (#VitaeCon2022) for all those with an interest in the policy and practice of global researcher development.

Our annual professional development event for anyone who has recently taken on responsibility for supporting researchers in their professional development, whether as a full-time role or as a part-time activity.

By invitation, this meeting brings a cross-section of Vitae membership together to explore the interim findings from the researcher development strategy, provision, and profession survey 2022.

Following on from the success of the virtual Live Lectures in the previous IP for Research programmes, Vitae and the IPO is again offering free online live lectures within the 2021/22 programme. These events aim to increase the Intellectual Property (IP) knowledge and skills of doctoral and early career researchers and facilitate relationships within institutions to support the management and development of IP, as well as answering the central question of why researchers should care about IP.

This community-driven networking event is an opportunity for those who support the career and professional development of researchers to come together and reflect on events and learning from 2021, to make new connections and renew old ones. It will also be an opportunity to lift spirits and have a little fun at the end of what has been a difficult year for all.

Following on from our thematic member forums earlier in the year, Vitae invites members to join these perspective-based forums to consider issues relevant to their role and to meet and discuss with others in similar roles.

This Vitae Forum will bring together our Members in Australia to discuss regional priorities and projects, and to consider perspectives on the evolution of Vitae membership to support and connect our global members for the future. This event is open to anyone from an Vitae member organisation in Australia.

Take part in Vitae Connections Week 2021 (#VitaeCon2021); a collection of live and pre-prepared opportunities for knowledge and practice sharing, networking and discussion among those with an interest in researcher development globally. The week of online activities will run from 7 to 10 September and will include live-streamed keynote presentations, small-group interactive and discussion sessions, our popular poster session and exhibition area reimagined for remote access, as well as the Vitae 3MT competition 2021 final, sponsored by Taylor & Francis.

A Member Event In 2020, Vitae embarked on a series of projects that aim to revisit and potentially refresh some aspects of the RDF and RDS. These projects take account of changes to the research environment and culture over the past 10 years and, at the same time, look forward and anticipate The changes to come over the next 10 years.
