Context 21st Century Researchers need 21st century skills – not just research specific skills but those that help them navigate and contribute to a global knowledge economy •

Vitae ‘What do researchers do?’ report: • Only 54% of PhD students were working in academia or as researchers, three years after they received their doctorate • BUT the majority of those no longer in ‘research’ felt that their PhD had been valuable to them in their current career – and many were using research skills and knowledge in their current job



Lots of mobility between sectors and occupations



How do we ensure that whatever pathway researchers take, they are making

the most of their careers? . www.britishcouncil.org

2

Aim The PIPERS project is led by the British Council along with 5 partners and 15 associated Third Parties from both the EURAXESS Service Network and other academic and non-academic stakeholders from across Europe and Israel. Its aim is to support researcher career development and training in areas such as: • • • • • • • • •

managing a research career and researcher self-assessment leadership skills interdisciplinary working entrepreneurial skills spin-off companies/market exploitation of research results working with industry IPR issues information literacy public engagement

Overview and objectives • Identify and cascade existing good practice and training resources • Develop new tools to support proactive management of researcher career paths • Provide an efficient and sustainable way of disseminating these across the Network

The objectives of the project will be pursued over a 24 month period Not long!

Impact and Outcomes-1 Activity Desired Impact Researchers can identify their skills and capabilities, set personal targets, and plan their professional development.

Outcome

Self-assessment tool Researchers can self-assess their skills and capabilities, and use and e-platform with this to plan a career pathway and articulate relevant knowledge learning resources and attributes during recruitment. Researchers have access to online tools and resources to support their ongoing professional development and research career pathways. Workshops for 1. Researchers as primary beneficiaries have improved skills in researchers and trainers key areas 2. Multipliers are trained in delivering skills plus career development advice, and given access to quality assured, free to use, materials and resources.

Policy discussions and Examples of best practice are shared across MS and institutions formulation of guidelines have access to guidelines to support professional development of researchers

Impact and Outcomes - 2 Activity Desired Impact Researcher mobility between academia and industry is made easier, lowering the dropout rate from within the research profession

www.britishcouncil.org

Outcome

Involvement of industry in workshop Researchers will be equipped with development and collection of skill sets which enable them to move resources more easily from academia to industry. Researchers will also be able to access industry relevant online resources through the e-platform. Involvement of industry in policy Stakeholders from academia are discussions more aware of the skills that researchers need to make the transition to industry Policy guidelines Research institutions are informed by policy guidelines and good practice examples which support academia-industry mobility.

Impact and Outcomes - 3

Activity Desired Impact The support Train the trainer workshops offered by the EURAXESS Services network has an increased Policy guidelines and e-platform focus on career development of researchers, and is offered to mobile and non-mobile researchers.

www.britishcouncil.org

Outcome EURAXESS members are able to deliver skills training and career development advice to researchers (mobile and non-mobile). EURAXESS members can learn from best practice examples of researcher support, and use these to deliver and advocate for improved researcher support within their institutions.
