This programme will support women researchers in developing an awareness of where they are and where they want to get to.

course details

This programme is designed to help researchers develop self-awareness and an understanding of who they are and what is important to them as individuals.

It aims to help develop the emotional resilience and confidence needed to achieve personal and professional development goals successfully. The programme enables individuals to gain insights into what they are capable of now and what they want to be capable of in the future.
