Providing opportunity is at the heart of our Researcher Development offering; we aim to enable all Greenwich researchers to reach their potential through personal and professional growth.
Researcher Training and Development
The training and development opportunities are designed for all University of Greenwich researcher communities from PGR to early-career, mid-career and research leaders. We support a wide range of activities, events and training sessions delivered by external and internal academic facilitators alongside subject matter experts across the institution.
Vitae Researcher Development Framework
Vitae’s sector-leading Researcher Development Framework (RDF) identifies the different areas of expertise required to support the training and development of researchers and defines the knowledge, skills, and behaviours of effective researchers. Greenwich uses the RDF to plan, promote and support the personal, professional and career development of researchers.

Governance of Researcher Development: The Researcher Development Concordat and the HR Excellence in Research accreditation
The University of Greenwich are signatories to the revised Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers (Researcher Development Concordat). The Concordat aims to set the gold standard in employment and support for researchers and researcher careers in higher education in the UK, recognising that talented researchers are vital for the HEI sector and a wide range of other employment sectors.
Researcher Development Concordat at the University of Greenwich
The university has been successful in gaining the European Commission's HR Excellence in Research accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to improving the working conditions and career development of researchers. The basis for this accreditation is based on regular critical reviews of progress that direct its future activities, expressed in a two-year action plan.
