Supporting Research Careers

We are very keen to support the career development of our researchers at various levels.

1. As part of the University of Brighton, CROME supports the Concordat principles

Recognition of the importance of recruiting, selecting and retaining researchers with the highest potential to achieve excellence in research
Researchers are recognised and valued by their employing organisation as an essential part of their organisation's human resources and a key component of their overall strategy to develop and deliver world-class research
Researchers are equipped and supported to be adaptable and flexible in an increasingly diverse, mobile, global research environment
The importance of researchers' personal and career development, and lifelong learning, is clearly recognised and promoted at all stages of their career
Individual researchers share the responsibility for and need to pro-actively engage in their own personal and career development, and lifelong learning
Diversity and equality must be promoted in all aspects of the recruitment and career management of researchers
The sector and all stakeholders will undertake regular and collective review of their progress in strengthening the attractiveness and sustainability of research careers in the UK

A summary about the development of the Concordat is available from Dr Iain Cameron Research Council UK
