Mid-career researcher training: Town hall meeting

In 2023 Eastern Arc commissioned WIASN to undertake a survey of MCRs to identify the barriers and enablers for their career development. One of the key findings of the resultant report was that over 62% of respondents felt that there was a lack of training and mentoring for them, and almost 80% felt that their universities did not provide a good level of career support at mid-career stage.

Following this, Eastern Arc will work with WIASN to develop appropriate and meaningful training for MCRs that will empower them in gaining the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to proactively develop their careers.

As a first step towards this, we will host a town hall meeting on Friday 17 November between 13:00-15:00 (online). The two hour session will start with an introduction to the findings of the report by its authors. This is intended to encourage and provoke a discussion about the form and content of training that would be most effective for MCRs. We are particularly looking at:

- Learning to lead / manage (the practicalities)

- Developing grant funding at MCRs level / being a PI.

- Career development planning: routes though MCR to late career.
