Workshop for senior research managers
Our workshop for experienced managers runs every other year, usually in January, and focuses on issues related to research strategy development and implementation, with sessions on strategic leadership and management; the policy environment; the role of a research strategy in planning, institutional policy-making and management; strategic finance issues; strategic people issues; models of research support; and the relationships between research, knowledge transfer and teaching. A group case study exercise runs throughout the course.
This workshop is aimed at administrative and academic Research Managers in, or aspiring to, senior positions. Administrative managers are likely to be newly appointed Heads/Deputy Heads of Research Offices, or senior faculty managers, or those aspiring to such positions for their next career moves. Academic managers will be the PVCs Research of the future, including those with responsibility for research at Faculty or School level, or those recently appointed to such roles.
Because the success of the workshop depends on the experience of, and interaction between participants, ARMA operates a selection process for those wishing to take part. Places on this course are strictly limited to a maximum of 24 participants, and a maximum of one from any department and for all but the largest universities, one per institution. Participation in this workshop requires the submission of an expression of interest form prior to bookings being accepted.
The course will run again in January 2011. The course will be advertised here and on the open email list in the autumn; alternatively, potential applicants can register an expression of interest at any time by emailing events@arma.ac.uk
