We run an online and in-person programme of support and training throughout the year including evenings, weekends and vacation periods; so hopefully you will find an event which suits your timing.

We hold all our online events on our RDO Teams channel, where we also publicise any research related events that we hear about.

Workshop and E.Learning Resources

Researcher Development Programme - the 6 Core Series

Accelerator series –Sessions that will get your PhD off to the best start. It will bring you into contact with other new arrivals at Warwick, starting to build your professional network and peer group of colleagues.

Essentials, productivity and wellbeing series-key areas that we all will need to cover no matter what our discipline and sessions to keep us on track, motivated, and meeting milestones.

Research practices & Methodologies series- in addition to our popular research methods training we also focus on integrity, ethics, planning and team working

PhD in Second Language Series – If you are doing your PhD in your second, third or even 4^th language then we run weekly sessions focussing on writing, presenting, speaking and also navigating the strange accents and behaviours of the British.

Writing support- we start from the basics of sentence structure, through to writing your first press release. We cover how to manage large volumes of material, organising your argument, signposting and storyboarding. And when you are writing up, we offer retreats, proof reading circles and creative writing sessions to deal with writers block. Check out our dedicated Writing page

Careers- we need to start thinking and planning where next, so that we can make the most of any opportunities we have during our PhD. Check out our dedicated Careers page
