Background

The Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers was established in 2008 and signed by all major organisations involved in research training in the UK. The stated aim of the concordat was to improve careers and employment for research staff.

柠檬导航 was involved in the development of the concordat but did not sign the final document as we felt that it missed the opportunity to make firm recommendations on employment security.

Now, ten years later, an independent review of the concordat has made a series of recommendations for improving the document, many of which 柠檬导航 welcomes.

The Concordat Strategy Group has now issued a consultative survey based on the findings of the review.
