Irrespective of your current level of experience or your career aspirations, it is likely that your development needs and opportunities will fall in to one of the following four categories, which map loosely on to the areas for which you are required to provide evidence in the Resume for Research and Innovation (R4RI). We have provided some examples of illustrative skills and experiences, although this is not an exhaustive list.
Examples
- Self. Your personal effectiveness day to day and more broadly in your career.
- Others. Working with, supporting, and developing others and maintaining effective relationships. teamwork and collaboration
- Research and Innovation. Developing research and research skills in an academic context, making an impact and contributing to your discipline.
- Society and beyond R&I. Contributing to broader research and innovation users, towards societal benefit.

At one of my PRDP meetings [now known as ARC], with my line manager, he asked me where I want to be in five years. As a joke, I said “in five years’ time I want to build a company with you and be the CEO of the company”. That was five years ago and today I'm the CEO of the company, which is quite amazing. It's an important thing, I think, to be both specific in the short term but also very ambitious in the long term.
