What is Action 17 and why does it matter for RMAs?
We thought it would be helpful to explain how EARMA’s activities are influenced by policy developments such as Action 17 in the new European Research Area policy agenda and look at how they fit into a wider pan-European strategy for research and development. This article explains why Action 17 is important for RMAs and why your national representatives should support it. Read more.

ESRAM and CRM take place in Prague
We were delighted to welcome three groups of participants to Prague for EARMA courses. We were joined by the Early Stage Research Administrators Masterclass (ESRAM) participants and those taking part in the European Certificate in Research Management (CRM) from our latest cohort as well as last year's new starts. Participants came together to either begin or continue their professional development journeys.
This year, we received a massive amount of interest in our ESRAM course, to the point that spaces were filled very quickly. Our next ESRAM course will take place February 20-22, 2023. Please reserve your space as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Read more and register your place.
