"I'm proud of just how far Prosper has come since its inception. All the co-creation, testing and refining has culminated in a genuinely unique offering in the postdoc career development space – a rich and comprehensive set of resources designed for postdocs as postdocs, crafted in close collaboration with our partner institutions, the wider sector, employers, and of course postdocs themselves.   

“I’ve seen first-hand the transformative impact Prosper has had on the postdocs involved in our pilots.  With the successful completion of our second pilot, it won’t be long now until Prosper launches nationwide, and its offering becomes freely available to postdocs and institutions up and down the country. I’m confident Prosper can act as a gold standard for the sector from the get-go, and help drive best practice in this area of research culture.
