Researcher Training & Development
We are the MPLS researcher training and development team and we do two things:
- Support researchers with their professional development with training opportunities to enable them to thrive.
- Develop the research culture in MPLS and across the University.
Our training covers a number of key areas: research skills, public & community engagement with research, enterprise & innovation and leadership and management. We work with DPhils, research staff & fellows and associate professors.
