Introduction to the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) Planner – Practical Session

As part of the RF1 (or Prof Doc equivalent) process, new doctoral researchers at Sheffield Hallam University are required to confirm that they have undertaken a Development Needs Analysis and set some initial actions in priority areas.  This must be done on the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) Planner and the ‘my actions’ and ‘my action plan’ reports must be attached to your RF1 (or equivalent) application.

This practical, hands-on session provides an introduction to the RDF Planner online tool and an opportunity for new doctoral researchers to get started on their Development Needs Analysis and to ask questions.

If you don’t already have an RDF Planner account, please contact Liz Brearley via doctoralschool@shu.ac.uk who will arrange this for you.  Please make sure that you have activated your account and can remember your login detail before attending the session.

If you are unfamiliar with the process of planning your professional development, then attendance at the session ‘Professional Development Planning using the Vitae Researcher Development Framework’ would be helpful but not essential.

The session is open to all, but aimed at those in the first 3 months of doctoral study (6 months if part-time), ie pre-RF1 stage.
