The Skills Development Project is a White Rose  initiative, funded by the AHRC, to assist Arts and Humanities postgraduate researchers develop their academic language skills and their understanding of academic cultures outside of the UK.
We have created a  database of resources about research cultures outside of the UK. It has been compiled by postgraduate researchers at the three White Rose Universities but is available to anyone seeking information and advice about engaging with academia in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan and China.
