Overview

The 2016 conference focused more deeply on the researcher developer role and engagement with scholarly activity. We explored designs and outcomes of research into doctoral and post-doctoral experiences, researcher learning and development mechanisms, and enabling supervision.

The conference leaders also wish particularly to support practitioner engagement in scholarly work and research activity and also sought to provide a supportive arena for the development of research ideas, methodologies, and engagement with scholarly work.


Themes

Anchoring Researcher Development: theoretical mindsets

  • Sharing our research findings
  • Building our research profiles
