Vitae Researcher Development International Conference is the largest event for all of those with a strategic and practical role in developing researchers around the world. The conference will take place between 12-13 September in Manchester (UK), the European City of Science 2016.
The conference will address the strategic and practical implications of the following themes:
• policy developments relating to doctoral education and employing researchers
• building institutional capacity for researchers' professional development to maintain research excellence
• demonstrating the value of researcher development on research outputs, researcher careers, economic prosperity and society
• sustainable practice to support researcher skills, professional and career development.
Last year's conference was a resounding success with more researcher developers and academic staff attending than ever before, indicating a real commitment to the field and a great chance to network. You will also get a chance to explore over 50 workshops, browse exhibitions from leading providers in the sector, as well as vote in the exciting UK Final of the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®)!
