@ukcge @sheffhallamuni @uniofleicester As well as being an honour to present his memorial lecture, it was fascinating to work through Sir Bob Burgess' papers, esp his annotations. Absolute confirmation that the right people, working with a clear vision, can effect lasting change.

Many thanks to all who joined the @ukcge Town Hall discussion on the UKRI New deal for Postgraduate Research. A really interesting and informed debate, with perspectives from across the sector. Remrmber - many future online events are now FREE to members. https://t.co/vBZC5yZgHV

[UK Council for Graduate Education @ukcge]

We're delighted that UKCGE Chair, @ProfDougCleaver, had an engaging and useful trip to the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (@CAGS_OTTAWA) Annual Conference. We look forward to further opportunities to share knowledge on postgraduate developments.

[Prof Doug Cleaver @ProfDougCleaver]

In line with last year's commitment, @SHUDocSchool is continuing to align its PhD stipends with the net RLW. Following last month's announcement from @LivingWageUK we're pleased to confirm this now means a FT rate of £19,722 for 2023/24 (ie £1,100 above the UKRI stipend level).

[Prof Doug Cleaver @ProfDougCleaver]

Following our commitment to align PhD student stipends with the Net Real Living Wage, @SHUDocSchool is pleased to confirm our 2022/23 rate as £18,178. Henceforth, we shall continue to base our stipend on the @LivingWageUK RLW, unless/until that is exceded by the @UKRI_News rate.

[Prof Doug Cleaver @ProfDougCleaver]

Much to digest after a week discussing grad ed with sector leads from the US, Canada and NZ. The @CAGS_OTTAWA conf in Victoria showcased innovations in employability and supervisor engagement, while the group of FULL PROF @JuliePosselt at USC in LA are sooo goood on recruitment !
