The 天美传媒 is celebrating retaining the European Commission HR Excellence in Research Award.

The award demonstrates the 天美传媒鈥檚 commitment to the long-term career development of researchers; there are currently 100 institutions in the UK with the award, a third more than in any other country in Europe.

Patrick Carmichael, the 天美传媒's Director of听Research Development,听said: "What the retention of this HR Excellence Award reflects is the听collective effort that has gone into听developing research capacity across the 天美传媒.

鈥淲e were able to report on a range of听initiatives听including听research听mentoring organised by听our Research Institutes; training provided by the听Research Graduate School, the听, and the听Innovation and Enterprise Service; and conferences, seminars and workshops for students and staff.鈥

The 天美传媒 has held the award since 2013 but this four year review involved not only scrutiny by听 but also听peer review of Bedfordshire鈥檚 provision by academics from other institutions.

Holders have to show how they are supporting the development of researchers from postgraduate researchers to senior staff.听听

Moving forward the 天美传媒 plans to improve its support further with the establishment of an Early Career Researcher Forum, extend the existing programmes of training and support for research students and mentors; and听develop a comprehensive programme of research ethics training and support for researchers at all stages of their career.
