Training Programme

Training Programme

The Durham Global Challenges Center for Doctoral Training, will provide training for the international GCRF-CDT  students, and will provide them with advanced research skills, as well as established capability for working in an international development context. A bespoke program of generic skills training to support the students is also developed, focussed on the Researcher Development Programme. The training will also include input from external partners such as NGOs and experienced external speakers, alongside a wide programme of seminars and events. Students will be provided with RTSG (training) support, as well as an exchange as part of their project with an overseas DAC nation university. Training will include cohort-based interactive activities to share learning across the cohort.

The Centre will also coordinate and provide training to academics and relevant support staff. A programme to support the supervisors of the GCRF-CDT students has been developed, these sessions are also used as an opportunity to share practice in each of the areas discoursed.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world by 2030. These sustainable development goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change. All of the Durham Global Challenges – CDT projects are linked to one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to work together to build a better future for everyone.

The Durham GCRF-CDT students focused on productive writing at Dove Marine (Newcastle University) on the coast of Cullercoats. They used their time to prepare for their Formal Progression Review. This requires the students to submit for assessment a substantive piece of work as defined by their departments. The structured programme included a break with an outdoor activity.

A member of the Durham Centre for Academic Development facilitated the event for the CDT.
