Description
Staff and sector agencies who support Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) in Scotland are invited to join sparqs for a conversation around the PGR Experience. (Note, there are separate events for current PGRs).
sparqs is undertaking a project to create a model of the Postgraduate Research Experience, akin to the model available for taught students.The model will play a key role in quality enhancement processes across Scotland, and sparqs is keen to ensure the model is representative of the authentic PGR experience.
This will be an interactive workshop designed to capture staff views on the key elements of the postgraduate research experience. Contributions will directly contribute to the design of the model, including the building blocks and reflective questions.
The event is open to any staff member who works with or supports PGRs from an institution or a sector agency. (This may include, for instance, supervisors as well as academic developers, among other roles).
Staff who cannot attend are encouraged to participate through our asynchronous form.
