Leading a research support office or in other ways developing and managing excellent research support to the best researchers is both inspirational and demanding. Both day-to-day challenges and dilemmas and more strategic considerations must be handled by you and your team, balancing expectations from rectorates, faculties, individual researchers, as well as funders and authorities. With this Leadership in Research Event, EARMA offers a tailor-made program that will target some of these issues; through keynote presentations as well as working and sharing in peer learning groups. Our goals will be to give the participants effective ways to navigate in an environment in rapid change and often with of contradicting goals and directions. And, not to forget, the Leadership Event will give you a unique European network of colleagues faced with many of the same challenges as yourself.
