These are the speakers presenting at the networking seminar, 26 April, Coventry University.

Two new Vitae events will take place in June. Join us to discuss researcher careers.

We are delighted to announce a new publication in the Vitae Library of Resources.

We would like to congratulate universities which have been shortlisted in the Vitae-sponsored category for Outstanding Support for Early Career Researchers.

What is the impact on the professional development of researchers as they navigate the open research environment? How do these changing expectations impact the role of researcher developers?
