Individual Development Plan

The Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a tool to help you identify and prioritize goals. It will allow you to achieve milestones in your work and optimize your career planning. Use the IDP to:

• review your skills, interests, and values;
• identify which skills you should develop further;
• set research and career goals and document your progress;
• boost your productivity by organizing your time more effectively.

Your IDP will depend on your academic discipline and career phase: different IDPs are available for the natural sciences, humanities, and the social sciences. There are also international IDPs for other academic disciplines.
