Vitae is inviting submissions for contributions to the next event in the Vitae Connections series: Leadership in researcher development, taking place in Glasgow (Scotland) on 28 April 2016: http://bit.ly/1IS3vC4
Leadership has been identified as a core area of the professional development of researcher developers (staff developers) and is integral to the Career Framework for Researcher Developers (CFRD).
The development of leadership capabilities is vital in fulfilling many responsibilities of excellent researcher development, including being able to apply first-hand knowledge of leadership to the development of researchers as leaders, working with related national and international policy, and through an innovative and strategic approach.
Contributing to this event is an opportunity to both showcase and develop leadership in the area of researcher development and submissions are invited to present on one of two themes:
•Leadership in practice: Case studies of developing or demonstrating leadership as a researcher developer, including through the HR Excellence in Research Award
•Growing future leadership: Case studies of researcher development provision for leadership, including examples of institutional leadership programmes and innovative ideas for the future
Deadline for submissions is Monday 8 February 2016 at 5pm GMT: http://bit.ly/1IS3vC4
