During the past 3 years, research management experts and teachers from NOVA University of Lisbon and Corvinus University of Budapest, engaged in the foRMAtion project, have developed a unique curriculum and teaching material implemented in a 2-semester course intended to offer real, up-to-date and marketable knowledge to students in higher education interested in the Research Management and Administration (RMA) profession.
In order to make this knowledge accessible to a wider public, including RMAs and aspiring RMAs, the lessons of this curriculum have been redesigned and adapted to the online learning environment by ISINNOVA. Gamified exercises and videos recorded by project partners have been added by SPI to support self-development via foRMAtion’s online learning platform.
What can you learn via our online platform?
You can enhance your knowledge, professional skills and competences by exploring the 24 lessons divided in the 4 modules below:
- Research methodology and design – The research ecosystem and its discipline-based specificities.
- Research funding, policy and governance – The major drivers behind European policy and how these impact research, with particular attention to funding and governance of research institutions.
- Project integration and management – Tools and methodologies to offer insights into professional roles linked to project management.
- Research impact and public engagement – The complex relations between research and societal actors and the respective facilitation approaches, including practices to turn the outcomes of a research project into a benefit for society.
