B2 - Researcher development within the changing nature of postgraduate research degree provision

Day 2 at 10:45 - Research Councils are investing training resources in centres or clusters of excellence which provide the highest quality research training experience, facilities and development opportunities. There are different established and emerging models of Centres of Doctoral Training, posing new challenges to sustaining an integrated, holistic approach to researcher development within and between institutions, across and within cognate areas, and in collaboration with different sectors. Centres of excellence in doctoral training have existed since 2002. This workshop explored the challenges and opportunities for institutions in providing equality of opportunity in researcher development and how Vitae could best support institutions within this changing landscape.
