C9 - Researcher Developers’ Professional Framework (ReDProF): exploring our careers and continuing professional development

Day 2 at 11:00 - This workshop will enable participants to explore and make final inputs into the development of a new professional framework for researcher developers (ReDProF). To date the framework has been created by a working group of over 30 researcher developers across the UK, led by Vitae, and has been explored and tested in a variety of contexts to reach this iteration.

The framework has been designed to support the professional aspirations of researcher developers and is relevant to all those with a professional interest in developing research staff and doctoral researchers. Developing researchers may form the whole or part of your role within professional services, as a trainer or as an academic.
