HR_Managing & Supervising Researchers Peer Network
(Registering on waiting list is not required)
This is a blended event series, i.e. most network sessions will run as live in-person events, while other activities will be online.
This peer network is designed to support those managing and supervising researchers, whether it be research staff members (‘postdocs’) or postgraduate research (PGR) students.
The group will focus on exploring good practices and sharing advice, learning more about developments and available resources on effective people management and supporting each other in their roles as managers of researchers.
The programme is discussed and decided by the network participants, with support and facilitation of regular network events and peer discussions through OSDU.
If this sounds of interest to you and you’d like to join some of the network’s events, please sign up to the network Teams page below where details on all events and other activities are shared:
