Open Research Support, Training & Workshops

Research staff

The University runs an extensive staff development programme: Research and Innovation Staff Development Programme (RISDP). This programme provides professional skills and career development workshops and events for research and academic staff. It brings together many workshops and events, all of which take place throughout the academic year. You can attend whichever sessions you like to create your own programme which is tailored to your needs. RISDP is taught by experts from across the University and also by external speakers.
