This Residential Event will present an opportunity, for the first time, for Graduate Deans and related staff, Research Administrators, Academic Staff and Post-Docs to meet in Special Interest Groups for discussion of issues of particular relevance to each Group. The Workshop will focus on key aspects relating to recruitment, supervision and outputs from PhD candidates, in the context of the Impact Agenda. In particular, best practice in Recruitment, Supervision, Examination and Enhancing Outputs will form the focus of small Thematic Group discussions, where delegates can share their problems and solutions in establishing effective and efficient research degree programmes.
