Course details
The Early Stage Research Administrators Masterclass (ESRAM) is designed for people who have recently moved into research administration (RA) roles with 6 months – 2 years of experience. RA roles can be in central support units, faculties, institutes, or within specific funded projects.
The aim of this course is to empower research administrators to undertake their new role with confidence, to present career pathways, and give the participants an appreciation of the full research project life-cycle and related service tasks. The course covers research funding, going beyond European Union funding, and is delivered and facilitated by experienced research managers and administrators from the EARMA community.
The Masterclass is a modular-based course consisting of interactive workshops, short lectures, case studies, exercises, discussions, and peer-to-peer learning. The number of participants is restricted to a maximum of 25 people and sessions last around 45 minutes consisting of practical insights, tools, tips, and group activities to reinforce and consolidate learning points. It is a case study-based programme that seeks to provide students with the opportunity to network with colleagues, exchange best practices and share knowledge.
