On the seventh day to Christmas, my RKEO friend gave to me, 7 development options to swim in.
Some of the verses aren’t quite flowing but you get the idea.
The RKEDF provides a whole host of opportunities for academic development. Here’s seven ways to find out what’s on offer for you:
- I am an ECR new to research
- I want to know more about External Funding
- I need to disseminate my research
- I need to know about the REF
- I want to increase the impact of my research
- I want to work internationally
- I need help with my research career
