About the Researcher Development Programme

The LSW Researcher Development Programme seeks to accomplish our strategic priority of creating an environment that supports current and future experts in Wales. Our Programme includes our interdisciplinary Early Career Researchers (ECR) Network, opened to researchers starting a research career, and our Research Workshop Grant Scheme that provides seed funding for researchers to develop a new researcher idea or develop a network with partners and collaborations across sectors.

Our Advisory Group Researcher Development shapes the direction of the programme. Its membership consists of members of the LSW ECR Network and the Society’s Fellows.

In alignment with the Society’s EDI statement, we are strongly committed to embed EDI in all our activities, some of which may specifically target under-represented groups.
