Research, Living and Working Conditions Survey 2023
In October 2023, VPPGA will conduct Research, Living and Working Conditions Survey 2023 for postgraduate researchers working and studying at Higher Education Institutions in Ireland to explore the experiences of postgraduate researchers in Ireland, about income and living standards. The data will be collated and presented to the Research Graduate Education Working Group and the National Forum for Doctoral Education Advisory Forum which the AMLÉ Vice President of Postgraduate Affairs and representatives from the Department of Further and Higher Education are members. The data will be used to lobby for increasing postgraduate funding and research conditions for postgraduate researchers.
