Researcher Development Summer Programme
The Researcher Development Summer Programme is taking place from 10 June. You can now sign up for the programme on SkillsForge. This summer, we have included three main themes which are Careers, Conferences and Transitions.
If you are heading off to your first conference, or about to chair for the first time, our Conferences theme will support you. Whether you want a career in the industry, third sector, or academia, our Careers theme will provide you with guidance to prepare. Our Transitions theme will aid you with your visas, help you with writing for publications or your thesis, and help you to gain the confidence and skills to deal with stresses.
