Researcher Development strategy (awaiting approval)

Our postgraduate researchers and Research Staff play a vital role in creating the vibrant and diverse research culture that gives the University of Glasgow its world-renowned reputation.

Our vision is to provide the highest quality training for all our researchers, ensuring access to opportunities that will enhance their skills and employability and equip them to become leaders in their chosen field.

The University’s Research Strategy seeks to create a supportive environment for ambitious early career researchers and to nurture a high quality graduate research environment.  The aim of the Researcher Development initiative is to provide training and support that meets the needs of our diverse population of researchers both at postgraduate and at post doctoral level.

Funding has been provided by the Research Councils for the development and provision of transferable skills training and career development support.  The University is strongly supportive of this investment in training and views it as an integral part of academic life.

We have identified three strategic aims, as well as key objectives that will help us to realise our vision and guide practice in transferable skills training at all levels in the University.
