## The Doctoral Values Project
*Co-created by Warwick's PGR community to shape a more research-centred, inclusive postgraduate experience*
## The Five Doctoral Values
### Community and Belonging
Belonging is more than just inclusion—it’s feeling like you matter.
### Learning and Personal Growth
This value invites a culture that nurtures growth as it happens.
### Recognition and Empowerment
PGRs want to be seen—not just as students, but as valuable contributors to the academic community.
### Supporting the Whole Researcher
To support the researcher is to see them fully—not just as students, but as people with lives, struggles, and dreams.
### Compassionate Supervision
Compassion in supervision isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity.
