The University of Stirling intends to remain a research-led institution by building upon and sustaining its high quality research activity. To support this aim, the University has made a commitment, in line with the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, to provide a wide range of training and development opportunities. The Research & Enterprise Office in collaboration with the Researcher Task Group have designed the "Researcher Development Programme" to meet the generic, personal and professional development needs of researchers. All sessions are available for booking via
'My Learning' on WebCT via the portal.
The Programme for 2011-2012.

The Researchers' Forum aims to provide researchers with a platform to discuss generic issues, meet and share good practice, share ideas and identify common development needs. The Forum will be led by researchers for researchers, so input on future topics and issues of relevance is welcome, and it is hoped that this interaction between Researchers of different disciplines will encourage the University's Research Community to develop even further across subject areas, with an ethos of multi-disciplinary working.
To register for any future meetings, suggest forum topics or to simply find out more about the Researchers’ Forum, please contact the Researcher Development Policy Officer.
