About the event:
Research management and administration (RMA) is becoming recognized as a profession around the world. This emerging profession provides a balance between promoting/facilitating the needs of institutions to meet their organizational objectives and the ability of academics to dedicate more time to science and research results. Well-trained research managers bring added value and significantly contribute to the organization’s overall success at universities, institutions, agencies and NGOs. The V4+WB RMA NETWORK initiative explores the broad scope of the multi-faceted profession of research management. The 3rd Training School in Tirana under the auspices of GO2ALBANIA would focus on “Maximizing the impact of research results, exploitation and valorization of research results, open science and open access”. Participants can further develop their understanding on:
- Open science: concept and policy
- Open Science: practices and enablers
- Open Science and Open Access: main differences and commonalities
- Data sharing benefits and challenges
- Data sharing solutions and networks
- Examples of data sharing (success and failure)
- Data sharing challenges (ethical, legal, technical)
