More about Prosper PI Network

The Prosper PI Network was launched in September 2020 with the aim of helping managers of researchers and principal investigators to support the career development of their research staff, by sharing best practice and providing peer support and resources.

Prosper recognises the wealth of experience and best practice that academic staff across the UK have, as well as the benefits of colleagues from different disciplines and with different levels of experience having a forum to discuss approaches to postdoc development.

More about Thrive

The University of Liverpool has joined forces with Advance HE and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to launch Thrive - a two-year project funded by Research England.

This project is dedicated to redefining how research teams operate, with a special focus on encouraging greater diversity and inclusivity. The project aims to develop and define a new model of team-based working and to pilot the model through a live funding call with AHRC.
