Researcher Development Deep Dive

Join us for an engaging 40 minute introduction to Vitae’s brand new Researcher Development Framework (RDF 2025), led by Dr Katryna Kalawsky from Enhanced Academic Practice (Organisational Development).

In this session, you’ll gain an overview of what the RDF is, why it matters, and how it can support your growth as a researcher. Whether you're aiming for academia, industry, roles beyond research or are still exploring your options, you'll be introduced to a sector leading tool that can help you understand your strengths, identify development needs, and navigate your career journey with confidence and clarity.

This session will begin with introductory talk from Dr Kathryn North, the inaugural Director of the newly established Loughborough University Research Academy.

Drinks will be provided during the session, and please feel free to bring along your lunch with you.
