B9 - How do we engage researchers in their professional development planning?

Day 1 at 16:20 - Workshop overview:

Engaging researchers with their own professional development planning (PDP) can be challenging and researcher developers in institutions are adopting a variety of approaches to effectively involve researchers.

This workshop will provide case studies from researcher developers sharing strategic and operational ways that they have successfully engaged their audiences, including researchers, PIs and senior management with professional development using the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF). The session will also explore ways to make researcher developers’ lives easier with regards to engagement and how to make the most of the RDF: including using the RDF to plan provision and deliver training mapped to the RDF.
