Warwick Interdisciplinary Research Leadership Programme

Descripción del proyecto

Formación innovadora de futuros líderes de la investigación en Warwick

La Universidad de Warwick posee una amplia experiencia en formación posdoctoral interdisciplinaria a través de su prestigioso Instituto de Estudios Avanzados, así como en la investigación intersectorial innovadora a través de sus diez prioridades globales de investigación. Además, su entorno y reputación internacionales contribuyen a su prestigio. La Universidad de Warwick ha puesto en marcha el proyecto WIRL, financiado con fondos europeos, cuyo objetivo es preparar a las futuras generaciones de líderes de la investigación en Europa. A lo largo de cinco años, en el proyecto se formará a treinta investigadores internacionales para establecer una cohorte de nuevos líderes de la Investigación, que contribuirán a la consecución de los objetivos de la Unión Europea de fomentar una economía dinámica basada en el conocimiento y promover el crecimiento económico. En el proyecto WIRL se ampliará el programa existente para convertirlo en una iniciativa paneuropea de proyección internacional.

Objetivo

The Warwick Interdisciplinary Research Leadership Programme (WIRL) is a major new initiative by the University of Warwick to train future generations of Research Leaders in Europe. Warwick is known for its experience in interdisciplinary postdoctoral training through its leading Institute of Advanced Study (IAS), its innovative cross-sectoral research carried out through its ten Global Research Priorities (GRPs) and its international environment and reputation created through distinctive global partnerships and research collaborations. WIRL will build on this background to train 30 international researchers over five years to form a group of New Research Leaders who will contribute to the European Union’s plans to build a dynamic, knowledge-based economy and to improve economic growth.

Warwick’s experience shows that Research Leadership is greatly enabled through close mentoring, international collaborations and the opportunity to build an independent research profile within the first five years of post-PhD research. Since 2007 the IAS has hosted a well-established research development programme, delivering complementary skills training to early career and experienced researchers.

WIRL will be a major step forward in Warwick’s Postdoctoral training programme. It will expand the current UK-centred programme into one with a pan-European focus and global reach. WIRL will create an environment for Fellows to develop the skills and gain the experience required to become Research Leaders in their fields within and beyond academia. This research environment is underpinned by the University’s 10 interdisciplinary GRPs that sit across academic disciplines, representing Warwick’s key areas of research excellence and engagement. GRPs bring together research strengths from across the University, giving them clear thematic identities that show where Warwick can make a significant and distinctive contribution to the resolution of some of the world’s most pressing issues.
