How Academia 101 supports your development as a researcher
These sessions have been built around the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF), the national professional development framework for planning, promoting and supporting the personal, professional and career development of researchers.
The Vitae RDF is structured into 4 domains to capture the knowledge, behaviours, and attributes identified as significant for researchers across a wide range of stakeholders:
- Domain A: Knowledge and intellectual abilities: The knowledge, intellectual abilities and techniques to do research
- Domain B: Personal effectiveness: The personal qualities and approach to be an effective researcher
- Domain C: Research governance and organisation:
Knowledge of the professional standards and requirements to do research - Domain D: Engagement, influence and impact: The knowledge and skills to work with others to ensure the wider impact of research
- Each of the Academia 101 sessions is explicitly linked to at least one of the Vitae RDF domains, sub-domains and descriptors, to help you track your progress and development within these specific areas.
This also allows you to select sessions that are particularly relevant to your personal research development.
