  1. PE and Impact – using the RDF to identify and develop the skills requiredThursday, 28 February Heather Pateman, Project Manager, Vitae

  2. Vitae vision and aims “to support world-class personal, professional and career development for researchers” Influence effective policy development and implementation relating to researcher development Enhance higher education provision to train and develop researchers Empower researchers to make an impact in their careers Evidence the impact of professional and career development for researchers

  3. The Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) Articulating the breadth of researcher capabilities • Developed by researchers for researchers, robust in methodology and validity • Articulates the knowledge, behaviour and attributes of successful, world-class researchers • Underpinning strategic framework • Common framework and universal language for understanding and communicating researcher competencies internationally • Beneficial for all researchers irrespective of levels of experience • RDS - a strategic statement, endorsed by key organisations • International validation in Europe and the US

  4. What is a lens on the VitaeResearcher Development Framework • Using the RDF, a lens provides an overview of the key knowledge, behaviour and attributes developed by researchers that can be acquired through, or used in, particular areas such as public engagement; knowledge exchange; impact, enterprise, teaching etcwww.vitae.ac.uk/rdflenses Two types of lens development: • Direct focus - Lenses derived from the Vitae Researcher Development Framework • Bridging/mapping - Lenses mapped to existing frameworks, set of professional standards or protocols

  5. Impact Lens • Group being developed • Includes KE experts • academics • Based on RCUK Pathways to Impact • Important to link lenses • Encourage consideration of impact • At all stages • Reference to REF to be made also

  6. Knowledge Exchange

  7. Using a lens Researchers: Identify how specific areas such as enterprise can contribute to their professional development as a researcher Identify how the skills and attributes they have developed through research can contribute to, or underpin their development in those areas Select areas to develop further Provide evidence of transferability of skills

  8. Using a lens Researcher developers: Demonstrate to researchers how specific areas can contribute towards professional development Enable researchers to recognise the learning they have acquired through particular activities Explore how RDF relates to other frameworks and vice versa Provide evidence of transferability of skills Align learning and development resources around a lens

  9. And……. • The lenses are being built into the RDF planner in the next development phase • Next phase of lenses – case studies/events • Innovate project – Leeds • Developing REF briefings for both UoA and researcher developers re: environment
