GW4 launches innovative scheme to support postgraduate researchers
|
|
|
The GW4 Alliance has launched GW4 Connect, a suite of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) programmes providing a unique opportunity for peer-learning, developmental training and network building for postgraduate researchers (PGRs).
GW4 Connect provides researchers from across the Alliance two new pilot opportunities:
- a coaching programme for postgraduate researchers with parental responsibilities
- a peer-to-peer mentorship programme for postgraduate researchers of colour
Across the higher education sector, the structural and cultural inequalities facing postgraduate researchers from marginalized and underrepresented communities can create significant barriers to a positive and successful research experience and career.
GW4 Connect aims to support PGRs who face racism, discrimination and other structural barriers and inequalities inside and outside of the research environment to build new partnerships and share or co-create strategies for navigating their research career.
