This session provides an overview of the UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) Research Supervision Recognition Programme, which supports the development of researcher supervision skills and offers internationally recognised accreditation. Participants will learn about the full and associate recognition routes as well as a pilot programme of workshops, resources and peer support. The session will include time for Q&A and participants will have the opportunity to enrol on the pilot programme.

Who is it for?

Early career researchers, including postdoctoral researchers and Nottingham Research Fellows and research technical professionals who have either a formal or informal role in supervising and supporting doctoral researchers.

This session is part of the RSVP project, which aims to transform the culture and practice of research supervision across the UK. RSVP is a £4.6M Research England project, involving over 50 research organisations from the UK and beyond. The project has the backing of most major UK research funders and was extensively referenced in UKRI's recent New deal for postgraduate research. By participating in this session and providing feedback, your views can influence our national programme of supervisor development.
