| This pre-Seminar to the ECER 2014 Conference (http://www.eera-ecer.de/ecer2014), is co-organised by EERA Network 22: Research in Higher Education and the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE), in cooperation with Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE) from FPCE - University of Porto
Venue: Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, University of Porto
Rua Alfredo Allen 4200 -135, Porto, Portugal Over the past years, in many European countries, higher education has been in turmoil as, for example, budget cuts have impacted significantly on the lives of academics and students in higher education institutions. Higher education institutions are still expected to be one of the driving forces of nation states by creating new knowledge and educating a future workforce.
The aim of this seminar is to: - bring together colleagues from various European countries to discuss how higher education can cope with turbulent times and how to move forward.
- bring insights into and examples from various European countries on current developments in higher education.
- provide a meeting point for emerging researchers to discuss current issues and network with established researchers in the field of higher education.
In order to promote lively discussions and a possibility to network and share opinions the second half of the seminar will be interactive workshops. There will be four parallel sessions each of which has moderators to promote lively discussions. The results of these interactive sessions will be reported on and disseminated.

Session 3: Developing as a researcher in turbulent times: becoming and being an 'extended' professional'
A presentation by Professor Linda Evans University of Leeds
Facilitator: Dr Christine Teelken, VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands
'In this lecture Professor Evans will draw upon her own work on researcher development, to analyse what it takes to be an 'extended' researcher in the precarious and changing 21st century European Research Area (ERA). Adapting Eric Hoyle's work on 'extended' and 'restricted' models of professionality, characteristics of the 'restricted' and 'extended' European researcher will be proposed. Of particular relevance to early career academics and researchers, the lecture will address issues related to how they may develop their research skills and raise their profiles.'
