Researcher Development Programme (ECRs)

The Researcher Development training programme for ECRs, is a development programme specifically designed for Early Career Research staff (i.e. staff on research contracts on grades E to G), across all campuses of the University of Exeter.

All of our courses have been mapped against the national Researcher Development Framework (RDF), a tool that helps you consider your professional development as a rounded researcher. Most of our courses address multiple domains and sub-domains.

All course bookings are done via iTRENT. Please note that you will need to be linked to the University's VPN in order to book onto courses.

If you have any problems booking onto a course please email us at: researcherdevelopment@exeter.ac.uk.
