[cid:image004.png@01CB81B9.01FDBC50] [cid:image005.jpg@01CB81B7.E4E62F40] *Apologies for any cross-posting* Dear Colleague, Current Issues for Research Managers and Administrators 9th December 2010 National Railway Museum, York http://www.ukcge.ac.uk/events/eventsarea/manandadmin10 UKCGE is delighted to be able to host this workshop in association with ARMA to explore current issues in Research Management and Administration through guided discussions, exploration of case studies and sharing good practice. The workshop will consider the current issues experienced by the Research Office, in particular how research support can assist in the delivery of Faculty and University strategies, "doing more with less" and exploring a joined up thinking approach with other university departments such as enterprise and knowledge transfer teams. The workshop will also explore a common way forward for the development and career progression of Research Managers with the development of Professional Development Framework by ARMA. Delegates will have the opportunity to become more closely involved in the development of the framework Throughout the workshop, participants will be actively encouraged to ask questions, debate the key issues, and reflect on what constitutes effective research support. As a result, all participants will be better placed to understand how they can make a positive difference to the work of their own office. In addition to a series of interactive workshop sessions and presentations, delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss the issues with colleagues from other institutions in order to understand and develop good-practice within the sector. This workshop will be of interest to Research Managers and Administrators from a variety of university settings including central and faculty research support offices, Research Registrars and Research Officers. Speakers include: Marie Garnett - Professional Development Manager, ARMA Dr Mark Mortimer - Director of Research and Enterprise, University of York Claire Skinner - Faculty Head of Research Support, University of Leeds Ray Kent - ARMA Board Member and Research Development Officer, Loughborough University Kathryn Brown - UKCGE Executive Committee Member and Principal Officer in the Research Office, Leeds Metropolitan University The cost of this event is £185 for both UKCGE Members<http://www.ukcge.ac.uk/members> & ARMA members and £235 for non-members.
