Yesterday I participated in a meeting organised by the RIN, tasked to look at ways to move forward from the situation painted in the RIN Mind the Skills Gap report. There were representatives there from many of the organisations who have an interest in supporting researcher development: Vitae, HEFCE, RCUK, RLUK, SCONUL, CILIP, BAILER, IOP and more. We had some very fruitful discussions about strategic engagement, matching training to needs and practical training issues, with the aim of identifying some practical outcomes which can be taken forward. Notes from the discussions will be made more widely available via RIN soon.
