Researcher Development Community

Welcome to Your Community!

This resource page has been designed with professional services staff in mind – whether you have responsibility for:

• Managing a cohort of Researchers at a University or CDT level.
• Increasing impact from research/researchers.
• Encouraging new or deepening existing relationships with businesses, public or third sector organisations.

We feel privileged to have developed a strong network of passionate, professional services staff in Universities across the UK and internationally.  We’ve found a lot of value in linking up like minded individuals and institutions and we’re keen to develop a community of practice with you, where you can connect to others in a similar position, share learning and experiences for the benefit of your own personal development and that of your research community.

Researcher Developer CPD Webinars

We recently launched a programme of webinars, which take place every couple of months.  We’ve had over 100 participants at every event so far, which is fantastic and the next event is scheduled – sign up now!  

Check out our YouTube Channel to watch the latest webinar.

Missing chat over a coffee?

In response to your request, we’ve started to hold Zoom coffee breaks!  In May 2020, a number of the community approached us to say they were missing the opportunity to chat and network now all the events are taking place virtually.  In recognition that some of the most valuable conversation happen over a cuppa we thought we’d give in a try.  

Join us on 23rd September at 10am for a coffee and discussion on how the community could share training provision in these uncertain times, or at 3pm for a casual chat and catch up with colleagues.  To make them work they are small groups so sign up now so you don’t miss out!

If you want to be part of the next session, or be first to hear about anything we have planned, sign up to get updates.

Working in partnership with you

We always aim to work in partnership with you when we develop and deliver training.  We know our products and services can really make a difference to your Researchers, but you know them best and know what outcomes you want to achieve to meet your targets.  Between us we can get the job done!
