The Grant and the RM Framework project funded under Horizon Europe has joined a partnership. Over the next 1½ The Grant will support the consortium developing 15 podcast episodes in its own dedicated series exploring and sharing project activities.
This episode kicks off the collaboration series. I of course have the project coordinator Nik Claesen, Managing Director of EARMA, in for this introductory episode to the project. He shares the background of the project and where this project fits into the work consolidating the research manager position across Europe. The project will develop guidelines and a handbook for trainings and capacity building within research management and we have a conversation about the elements that the project covers.
The aim with this series is to demystify what it means to professionalise research management. It’s not just about systems and templates - it’s about aligning values, roles, and ambitions across the entire institution. Whether you’re setting up your first project support team or rethinking an existing structure, this series will seek a shared language and practical entry points. Over the project period I will be inviting in consortium members and stakeholders to explore the project activities and give an insight into the results.
