EUROPEAN ASSOCIATIONS OF RESEARCH MANAGERS AND ADMINISTRATORS (EARMA)

https://www.earma.org/

EARMA was formed in 1994 and represents the community of Research Managers and Administrators (RM&As) in Europe. EARMA members work in industry, academia, the public and private sectors. They work with the EU Commission, national and international funding agencies. EARMA provides a networking forum, a learning platform, and a place to share experiences and best practice among RM&As throughout EARMA and in the wider RM&A community.

INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF RESEARCH MANAGEMENT SOCIETIES (INORMS)

https://inorms.net/

The International Network of Research Management Societies (INORMS) brings together research management societies and associations from across the globe. Its purpose is to enable interactions, share good practice, and coordinate activities between the member societies, to the benefit of their individual membership.

Each member society has its own distinct remit, constitution, membership and geographical base. The network enables the officers of the member societies to compare their national or regional issues, and to learn from each other. Through INORMS, we are able to transfer training course structure and content, adopt comparable support mechanisms, and jointly develop training materials. On the INORMS website an overview of all INORMS members are displayed.

The INORMS secretariat sits with the Association that hosted the immediate past INORMS Congress – it currently sits with the ARMA UK (from June 2018 – May 2020).

BESTPRAC

https://bestprac.eu/home/

BESTPRAC is a COST Targeted Network that gathers administrative, financial and legal staff at universities and research-driven institutions who are carrying out different tasks to support transnational external competition based (in particular EU funded) research projects.
The network serves as a platform for exchanging experiences, sharing and developing best practices, encouraging knowledge sharing, knowledge transfer and increasing efficiency in these fields.

BESTPRAC activities can be divided into three groups: Working groups, Training schools and Short-term mobilities. BESTPRAC has delivered a lot of guidelines and videos on their website.

If you are interested in participating in any of the BESTPRAC activities or want to receive updated information about the network, it is open to new members so feel free to register for the BESTPRAC mailing list.
