Strengthening Research Management Through Collaboration, Innovation and European Networks

Benefits of joining
Our aim is to bring together experts working in research services, grant support, project management, and research administration to exchange knowledge, prepare for the future of European funding, strengthen networks and gain practical insights.
The week will include interactive workshops, peer learning, and knowledge exchange on case studies, best practices, challenges, and recent developments in the field. Participants will; 1) gain practical insights alongside improved knowledge, 2) have the chance to learn from and exchange with other experienced professionals from varied institutional and EU contexts, 3) benefit from facilitated peer collaboration, network-building and international cooperation within the European research management community, and 4) learn more about the organizing institutions – TAU, LIU and KTU.
As a Erasmus+ BIP, please note that it is mandatory to participate in both the online and on-site programmes.
