Prosper Celebration Event 2026

We’re delighted to announce the Prosper Celebration Event 2026 – an opportunity to celebrate Prosper’s achievements, connect with colleagues from across the sector, and explore the future of researcher career development.
 
As the UKRI-funded rollout of Prosper draws to a close, this event will bring together researchers, professional services staff, and sector partners to reflect on Prosper’s impact and look ahead to the next chapter. The programme will include:
  • The launch of the Prosper Exchange
  • Key findings from the UKRI PGR Career Development Report
  • Discussions on opportunities and challenges in supporting career development across postgraduate researchers, postdocs, early career researchers, and mid-career researchers
