Researcher Environment

What constitutes an excellent researcher environment? A culture of support, integrity and sharing best practice based on clear and robust policies, procedures, training and systems, which are in place to provide an environment where researchers at all levels can contribute and collaborate to the best of their abilities.

Researcher Environment Team Activities

Below are just a few of the activities the Researcher Environment Team undertake:

-Deliver and facilitate training through the Researcher Development Programme. Login to SkillsForge for course information.

-Organise events and competitions.

-Provide support for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) via our One-to-Ones. You can book an appointment with a member of our team to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

-Host PGR Catch-ups. These are informal, online sessions where PGRs can get together and discuss research-related topics together. Topic summaries for each session are emailed out in advance. There is no need to book, just join using the PGR Catch-up Teams link.
