RM Framework: Advancing Research Management Training Across Europe

Tune in and shape the future of research management with us!


The RM Framework project and The Grant have joined forces to launch a brand-new podcast series. Over the next 1.5 years, we’ll bring you 15 compelling episodes packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and expert conversations about the groundbreaking work happening within the RM Framework project.


The RM Framework project has been launched to establish framework conditions for training programs dedicated to Research Managers (RMs) across Europe. This initiative aims to support the development of a European qualification system for Research Management, enhancing interoperability and strengthening the profession across the European Research Area.


RM Framework brings together the expertise of 16 organizations to build on past initiatives such as RM Roadmap, CARDEA, EURESTMA, foRMAtion, and BestPrac. The two-year project will deliver key outputs to support Research Managers, including:


  • A handbook for developing high-quality training programs for RMs.
  • A quality label to certify and standardize RM training programs across Europe.
  • Pilot training programmes to test and measure their impact on both individuals and institutions.
