RM Roadmap is based on a diverse consortium, bringing in various backgrounds and experiences, who will, together with its boarder community, networks, the Advisory Board, other complementary projects and the target groups, through co-creation and the forging of synergies, and mindfulness of cross-cutting issues, create insights and derive the best practices regarding the most innovative, inspiring and creative methods and tools for charting a course for the future of research management (RM) in Europe and a community to support its delivery.
This aims to build the target groups’ capacities through empowerment and fostering co-creation and necessary skills using digital tools, on an unprecedented scale.
Socio-cultural impacts
• The creation of a local, national and European RM identity
• An increase in access and participation for RM to local and international networks and shaping its future
• Increase in innovative, collaborative and effective RM through sustainable networking actions. Where RM networks or associations were inexistent so far, community building at national level started.
• Increased awareness about relevant EU and national policies, with a special regard to ERA Action 17.
• The increased reciprocal understanding and goal alignment among the local and international target groups.
• Increased mindful approaches regarding inclusiveness, gender equality, and environmental protection among consortium members and target groups regarding all aspects of RM practices.
• Empowerment and capacity-building of the relevant target groups through the development of impactful, accessible, inclusive and transferable material (to be adapted, please see what would be correct here, in additional to be platform, if any: workshops, webinar, impactful media and the online toolbox).
• Increased synergies, knowledge exchange, training, creative thinking, initiative, innovation and training among target groups through the learning network.
Economic impacts
• Improved professional and career experiences for RM professionals, leading to better and more sustainable working environments, stronger commitment and increased self-esteem and productivity.
• The empowerment of the target groups to engage with and harness the potential of RM through improved co- creation, synergies, skills, empowerment and capacity-building of the target groups.
• An improved understanding of roles and tasks of a RM professional.
Environmental impacts
• An increased movement towards the digitalisation of co-creation via sustainable networks.
• Increased attention to environmental issues throughout all planning and implementation processes.
