VitaeChat: Raising the profile of researcher career development

Our next #vitaechat takes place on Wednesday 12 June from 12 noon until 1pm (UK time). It aims to bring together researcher developers and researchers to explore how to ensure that universities make the development of researchers, their career progression, and the culture and environment of research a priority.
Our expert panel will explore these questions and share tips, advice and examples of practice. They  will help answer questions such as:
  • what opportunities are there to work together to achieve this common goal?
  • what good examples are there that others can learn from?
  • is it possible to influence institutional decisions as a researcher?
  • how can researcher developers support and enable this?
The event is free of charge and you can register below:
