EARMA Leadership Event 

---

EARMA LEADERSHIP EVENT OCTOBER 1 - 3, 2020 OSLO
Leadership in Research is a two-day workshop for managers and leaders from research, grants or sponsored programme offices at research organisations like universities, research institutions, research councils and funding agencies. The workshop is seeking to establish a room for discussing both day-to-day challenges and more strategic considerations. Through a combination of mutual learning and presentations, we will address overall challenges using Open Science and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as examples. This will be achieved through expert input and by participants themselves working with real-life problems. The program will be facilitated by an experienced group of leaders.

Participants: Managers and leaders from research, grants or sponsored programme offices at research organisations like universities, research institutions, research councils and funding agencies. The group will consist of up to 30 people including key leaders from Europe and beyond. 

Professional development: Both newcomers and former participants will gain valuable experience either building on top of previous Leadership Events or establishing a foundation for becoming a professional Leader in Research. The program will be aligned with a future certification program in Leadership in Research. 

Participation: A survey will be sent out in advance to adjust the program to expectations and topics raised by the participants.
