Creating a competitive ERA through empowerment of the young researchers - integrating multidisciplinary aspects of research management and innovation

Objective

This proposal describes a series consisting of four events. The goal of this series is to strengthen young and inexperienced researchers' competencies in research management more broadly defined than in traditional economic approaches. By offering training courses led by senior researchers tightly tied to innovation, international cooperation, technology management and HRM, this series of events represents complementary key aspects of research management, indispensable for the future development of the European Research Area. The training offered will raise consciousness regarding the quality of work processes in a multidisciplinary project environment, which puts high demands on the management and integration of vastly different scientific fields, and on the personal skills of the researchers. This is done by lectures by experts on the matter explaining the importance of the different skills needed in multidisciplinary and innovative research. In the next step, senior researchers will illustrate this with field reports.

The young participants will then get very practical training using different tools (project work simulation, work process modelling, writing and presentation of learning histories from experiences, improvisation, creativity and team building, communication techniques). The courses are aimed at eligible researchers from all over Europe, and will leave them better prepared to work in a multicultural context with high demands for skills and competencies on a broader and more coherent approach to research management than is possible to acquire through regular project work. This approach includes the integration of different technologies with focus on multidisciplinarity and innovation, as well as the understanding of the value of good HRM for communication and the transfer of knowledge, increasing their interest in and commitment to research on a Community level. We believe that developing these skills are of essential importance for the future ERA.
