By working with providers of doctoral education (Universities and HEIs), industry, funders and researchers, we aim to transform research supervision culture and practice. We want to understand what works in different contexts, identify what effective supervision practice looks and feels like, and determine how supervision practice is both supported and rewarded.

The RSVP International Conference will take place on 18-19 March 2027. Further information, including the call for abstracts, key themes, venue details, and how to register, will be shared in our subsequent newsletters and on the RSVP website in the coming months. We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an engaging and impactful conference.
The RSVP Collection
Consisting of self-published reports and position papers detailing our major findings on the UK’s research supervision landscape, the RSVP Collection provides insights into our data-informed and pedagogically grounded approach to developing relevant professional development opportunities, championing policy changes, and driving culture change across the sector.
What are we offering our partners?
In order to drive change across the sector, we will work with our partners to develop, co-create and pilot a programme of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for research supervisors.
