The Research & Knowledge Exchange Development Framework has been running for over 18 months, and we will soon start planning in events and activities for the next academic year. The aim of the RKEDF is to provide training and development for academics at all levels of their career, supporting them to improve their skills, knowledge and capabilities in relation to research.
To help us make the RKEDF as relevant and helpful to you as possible, we want your views and opinions about what works and what doesn’t. If you have five minutes to spare, please fill out our short survey by 5pm on Wednesday 28 March. By telling us what you think, you’ll be helping to shape the training opportunities we offer and you’ll also have the chance to win a £30 Amazon voucher. Thank you to everyone who has already taken the time to respond! We really appreciate your feedback.
