Stakeholders

Developers: The Vitae Researcher Development Framework was developed by and for researchers, in consultation with academic and the public and private sector.

Beneficiaries:

  • Researchers :  to evaluate and plan their professional Development
  • Principal investigators and supervisors of researchers : in their role supporting the development of researchers
  • Researcher developers, trainers, human resources specialists, careers advisors, senior managers and others: in planning and providing support to researchers
  • Policy makers, funders and other organisations : to inform and reinforce policy and strategy relating to researchers
  • Employers : to provide insight into the unique blend of researchers’ skills and to enable exploration of researchers’ potential benefits to the company as employees

 

Validation

The Researcher Development Framework was created through interviews with researchers and empirical data leading to the identification of the characteristics of excellent researchers

The RDF Planner was developed during 2012, and is currently being piloted with a number of UK and international institutions until the end of March 2013.

Constraints

In order to use the web based RDF planner, an institutional subscription is needed. Individual subscriptions will be possible as off summer 2013. Subscriptions imply fees.

Sustainability

One risk is that researchers start using the RDF planner via their institution’s subscription and stop using it when leaving that institution. One may have to stop paying subscription fees, which endangers sustainability.

Transferability

The application was developed by researchers for researchers working in higher education. It concentrates on aspects of researchers’ context and would therefore suit the population of the SAIA project.
