Description: Reflections on researcher development
At the Vitae International Researcher Development Conference in 2017 , I gave a presentation about the Future Challenges of Doctoral Training . Fast forward three years and I am hosting a session at the Vitae Connections Week 2020 with colleagues from Bristol , Cardiff and Exeter Universities to explore where we are now. Back in 2017, I used multiple references to the Back to the Future movies and, whilst I don’t actually have a DeLorean Time Machine , I think I was close to the reality we face now.
It’s about three Cs – Curation, Community and Camera
We can now add a further C – Covid 19! This has brought about an accelerated change in practice amongst researcher development colleagues. Although it is quite a challenge to reorient to a new digital first approach, colleagues have noted positive outcomes from this also. As part of preparing for this session, my esteemed colleagues pre recorded their experiences in the following video.
