Video of ERO Colleagues sharing what is great about working in ERO.

What’s the best thing about working in Edinburgh Research Office?

Working in a supportive and collaborative team who look out for each other and are passionate and committed to their roles in ERO.

What do you enjoy most about working in Edinburgh Research Office?

What I enjoy the most about working at Edinburgh Research Office is the sense of community. Everybody is keen to support each other, and not just within their own team. Edinburgh Research Office brings together a variety of knowledge, experiences and skills that make it a great place to work.
There is a good sense of community, as every member of the ERO team is very friendly and supportive. Working in a team that provides support to researchers towards worldwide impactful work gives me a great sense of fulfilment. 

What learning and development opportunities are available in Edinburgh Research Office?

There are a lot of really great training opportunities available throughout the University and within ERO we are actively encouraged to think about our development and seek out opportunities.  We are also supported in taking on additional training and courses relevant to our roles and career goals. I really value working within a team that understands and recognises the importance of professional development, and really tries to equip us with everything we need to succeed in our careers. I feel as though my knowledge and skills, and confidence in my abilities, have come a long way since I started working in ERO two years ago!”
