Keynote speaker: Professor Julia Buckingham CBE, Chair of the Concordat Strategy Group and Vice-Chancellor and President of Brunel University London

As part of the series of events across the UK, launching the new Researcher Development Concordat, this event will profile work that has been taking place in Wales, and set ambitions for the response to the new concordat over the coming years. Delegates from across the UK are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The day will celebrate the work of the Welsh Crucible, Sêr Cymru and the Women in STEM network and look at how the new Concordat will reinforce and further challenge the sector to support researcher careers. The event will also give delegates the opportunity to identify shared challenges and create a work programme to feed into the UK-wide Concordat activities.

This event is supported by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW).
