In order to become an effective researcher, one requires a very specific set of skills. And as simple as it may seem, the process of efficiently acquiring these can be more than a little hazy.

Enter Bath Spa’s Researcher Development Week, a new series of events (intended to be held annually) at the institution’s Corsham Court Centre between Monday 16th and Friday 20th of May 2016. Covering everything from open access to unconscious bias, training for chairing and becoming a digitally literate researcher, there is something for everyone, no matter the stage of their research career.

Not everything had such a strict academic focus however, movies were also shown, and specifically the PhD Movie and the PhD Movie 2, both based on the popular web comic Piled Higher and Deeper”.

In addition, wine receptions were held throughout the week (with non-alcoholic options for designated drivers), providing an excellent opportunity get to know fellow researchers at Bath Spa University. This was in addition to a number of catered lunches, featuring the finest in Corsham cuisine. Attendees were able to take advantage of ample opportunities for professional development, networking and personal growth, along with the chance to help establish a more coherent sense of community between researchers at Bath Spa University.
