Spain
A Welcome Reception will take place on the evening of Wednesday 25th June, followed by two days of plenary lectures, parallel sessions, and workshops, on Thursday 26th June and Friday 27th June. In addition, a pre-conference event will take place on 25th June, which is entirely devoted to the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), and will explore perspectives from academia, industry and the European Commission (EC). This is a unique opportunity for European Research Managers and Administrators to learn more about this joint undertaking between the Commission and the European pharmaceutical industry, and to consider the issues surrounding applications and management of successful projects.

As a key instrument in the realisation of the European Research Area, research management aspects of the 7th Framework RTD Programme feature prominently in the Conference programme, including full costs and sustainability, legal issues, and project management. Other sessions will explore how research managers can add value to research funding applications and increase success rates. The Conference will also look into at the professional development of research managers and their responsibilities in terms of communicating research results. It will examine:
• the various roles and responsibilities of Research Managers and Administrators
• the skills they need to succeed, and
• how a professional organisation such as EARMA can contribute to this process
We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!!
