This event aims to help you:
-
navigate the researcher development landscape in terms of the challenges facing the sector
-
gain understanding of the concepts and methodologies for evaluating impact
-
add value in your role through supporting and influencing programme development and policy change
-
share practice with other professionals who support the development of researchers and research
The programme will cover a range of tools and tactics to help you in evaluating the impact of your researcher development initiatives, including institutional case studies and the opportunity to discuss what you’ve learned in the context of tackling some of the big challenges facing you and your institution.
Vitae Connections
The ‘Vitae Connections’ series of events is designed to provide insights, tools and tactics to make you more effective in a researcher development role and to support the continuing professional development of staff supporting researchers.
Vitae CPD certification is available for this event and would provide appropriate evidence against the Careers Framework for Researcher Developers (CFRD), for example, in ‘Training and Development’, ‘Planning and Strategy’ and ‘Underpinning Knowledge’.
