RM Framework: Creating a European Framework for Research Management Training and Networking

Project description

Improving European research management

The European Research Area has strong potential to be globally competitive in research and scientific exploration. Its diverse groups of researchers and scientists offer a promising future. However, a lack of experience in research management (RM), training and networking often holds back many researchers and research groups. To address this, the EU-funded RM Framework project will develop several RM training programmes in collaboration with various universities and stakeholders. To achieve this, it will gather diverse perspectives from across the RM landscape to tailor training programmes to different needs, providing researchers with valuable experience in both management and networking.

Objective

RM Framework endeavors to strongly enhance research management within the ERA and beyond by fostering clarity, interoperability, and sustainability in the diverse RM landscape. This ambitious initiative aims to engage diverse stakeholders by establishing a common frame of reference for RM by involving national clusters, training providers, funding agencies, ministries and other RM actors and networks.
The project looks to tailor training approaches to meet the varied needs of research managers across Europe by utilising extensive networks to gather diverse perspectives and insights to tailor training approaches to offer comprehensive training, from general European-level programs to specialised initiatives. The project will explore various training methods, including community-based, informal, and formal university alliances.
This will all be achieved whilst also acknowledging national and local differences by bringing together pilot testers from 9 countries (ensuring inclusivity and relevance), incorporating leadership perspectives to align RM practices with organisational goals & policy frameworks, and the policymakers to ensure policy synergies and effective implementation.
By learning from past challenges and leveraging the expertise of diverse stakeholders, the RM Framework project aims to avoid previous pitfalls and achieve sustainable impact. With a strong consortium and a 24-month timeline, the project is poised to deliver tangible results in the rapidly evolving landscape of research assessment, open science, and AI integration. Moreover, by developing a quality label and fostering collaboration with existing networks, the project seeks to ensure long-term relevance and sustainability beyond its duration. Ultimately, the RM Framework project represents a critical step towards enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of research management practices across Europe and beyond.
