…ng – issues that have become even more pressing for PhD researchers in 2020. To complement this, we’ve provided researchers with new tools to establish peer-to-peer connections virtually. They’re encouraged to reach out to one another using digital researcher profiles which detail the research interests and contact details of their peers.

…he ICB chair, CEO and chief people officer to co-create workforce solutions. More commonly, ICBs have sub-committees such as people boards that allow for engagement with stakeholders from HE, FE and schools, although it is often constrained to narrow issues such as human resources. At the other end of the scale, there are ICBs in which there is limited understanding of universities’ role in the development and retention of the healthcare workforce…
…It’s the same with innovation: the more one innovates, the more innovation comes along. But, for me, innovation without purpose, a social dimension, is nothing more than a vanity project. And innovation without collaboration is, in my opinion, a non-starter. The two are like a Celtic knot: inextricably intertwined.

Taking a boat trip along the Seine, visiting the Eiffel Tower, eating proper French croissants, exploring Paris and discovering its nightlife all added to this memorable experience. Finally, at the end of the programme, we presented our idea to the judges. As we listened to the closing speaker and awaited their judgem…

…ncrease participation, to compete on a level playing field with our global competitors. The review’s recommendations on a variable top-up depending on the course “value”, risks a long-term attack on arts, humanities and social sciences. It risks being hugely disingenuous and is a massive disservice to our creative industries, again restricting choice for students.
