Overview

The inaugural Research Education and Development Conference was held on 18 September 2015. The conference was timely, in line with sector calls for the professionalisation of the researcher developer role.

Those who develop research staff and students were invited to strengthen their links to evidence-based practice and the impact agenda. They came together to share and discover the scholarly work that underpins the robust and innovative education of research staff and students.

The conference was aligned with the work of the International Journal for Researcher DevelopmentView previous issues of the journal.


Themes

  • Research-led practice base.
  • Determined and committed people.
