Mon 08 Sep
Bookings are now open for the Researcher Development Conference 2008:
Realising the Potential of Researchers. It will be held 8-9 September 2008 at the Novotel London West Hotel.Marking the official launch of the new researcher development programme, this two-day conference will reflect the broader remit of the new contract. Building on the success of previous UK GRAD and UKHERD conferences, the programme will bring together both agendas in relation to the personal and professional development of postgraduate researchers and research staff.
The conference will focus on a new era of professional and development support for researchers in the UK. Significant and rapid changes in the global environment create both opportunities and challenges for building the skills base of UK researchers during the next five years.
It is aimed at all those with a stake in supporting the development of postgraduate researchers and research staff in institutions, including:
- senior managers in research organisations, with responsibility for strategy, recruitment, training and management of postgraduate researchers or research staff;
- professional associations and institutions including the research councils, government representatives and policy advisors;
- research managers and administrators;
- careers and HR professionals working with postgraduate
researchers or research staff;- training coordinators, staff developers and trainers working
with researchers.Visit the conference website for more information, including the event programme and online booking form. Discounts are available for early bookings.
